JavaScript is widely used in web development nowadays. It helps to create interactive sites and responsive desktop and mobile applications. Besides its convenience, JavaScript also has a wide community of followers. Those dealing with JS are eager to share their ideas and lifehacks with peers. This tendency is useful as there is no need to create a simple app with basic functionality from scratch.
