JavaScript is a Client Side Scripting Language.

Can anyone explain clearly the difference between client side and server side scripting language.

JavaScript is not a client-side language. It was at its very beginning, but at first it was implemented as a server-side by Microsoft in their Active Server Pages (ASP) technology as alternative to VBScript, and decade later it was implemented as server-side by open-source project node.js. And if comparing client and server sides, I can tell you that there is only JavaScript on client-side now. Everything else is server-side or transpiled to JS.
