javascript is a programming language
meant to be embedded directly in
webpages so it was meant to be very easy
to use because everyone was creating a
web page in the 90s when javascript was
born and even more people are doing it
now so javascript has this approach
ability and is property that you can
write just a little snippet of it or
copy a snippet you saw on some other web
page put it in your page and you have a
little animation or a little form
validation or some kind of improvement
to your page from a little bit of
programming but that leads to large
programs over time and so javascript has
become widely used to build whole
generated web pages or web apps it's
been used on the server to compute
responses from databases and do all
sorts of amazing things
javascript is used all over computing
now so it's not just a little language
anymore but it always started that way
and it still fills that sweet spot of
being the easy to use easy to copy and
paste easy to learn and by by the yard
and and grow with as a programmer
