• JS is a rainbow flavored chewing gum. It can do anything, even turn a function into an Object.
• You can use it to build anything. Websites, apps, desktop applications, micro controller programs,...
• No types

Needless to say that some of the above mentioned bullets are also part of the list "why I hate JS"....

Here's goes:

1. Have a browser? Then you can most likely play with Javascript.
2. Want to use one language on both the front and back end? Learn Javascript.
3. It's free. :)

• easy to create and deliver GUI programs
• enough MDN docs and StackOverflow answers
• large companies betting on it

1. A lot of frameworks to choice and one for every need
2. Asynchronous calls
3. Make easy the frontend development

I guess I just really enjoy working on the frontend, on the part of the application that the end user will directly interact with in the end.

I also like that there's no compiling and stuff, and we have tools like BrowserSync / Webpack hot reloading allowing instant feedback during development. Also, Chrome Developer Tools is an amazing set of tools - just to think of the Timeline view and the Profiler. It's great to have these out of the box.

And last but not least - the community. I think there's great discussion around JavaScript and it's moving at an amazing speed, driven by the community, always building on the patterns / practices of the past and trying to improve.
