3. JavaScript is the most popular
programming language in the world. The
stack provides just a single language while
creating an incredibly flexible and fully
featured environment for web app
development.
Why use JavaScript ?
• Supports functional programming to
save several lines of code.
• Object-Oriented programming without
classes allows for fast development. It
reduces refactoring time during
maintenance tasks by allowing the
programmer to modify instances of
objects instead of classes.
• Custom tools can be created to play with
the source code. You can modify it,
change its style, add comments, and do
all kind of interesting things.
