Javascript is just another language, but check these facts: Js is used in browsers, js is used by Node, js is on android and iOS thanks Cordoba All these facts have a common factor, js is run on a browser And this creates another need, the need of more tools for development. Example canvas This makes developers create tools for JavaScript

In summary js is totally dependent on a browser and wouldn't be what is today thanks the browser

Sorry for bad english!

Eivar Morales Sidenote: You should check out a Chrome extension called Grammarly. It's excellent for helping with grammar while writing English. I have generally great English skills but it helps me on a daily basis to catch poor grammar mistakes. You may find it very helpful and end up preventing you from having to apologize for bad English. Thanks for contributing to the conversation ;-)

Thanks, Jason. I do use it on the PC, but I wrote the comment on the browser of my Windows Phone. Imagine

Eivar JS was only used in the browser, when it became popular. Only after that, it was used for all the other things you mention. If it had not been popular, we would use a different language for stuff like Node.
