Is javascript still useful comparing to other languages?

Question

can anyone help me understand the differences between javascript and other languages?

Answer 1

JavaScript is for web browsers. You can use JavaScript both server side and client side. You can add interaction with client side. You can handle all back end things with server side(look at Node.js). You can also make mobile apps with frameworks.
However while JavaScript is for web things there are other things that you can use well with specific field's. For example Java is for mobile apps(I am talking about their mostly used fields), C is for system things, C++ is generally for games, C# for windows apps, for Unity(a game engine),for back-end site(with Mvc), PHP is for again back-end... You should say which side you want to focus. If you can't decide which field you want to focus(maybe you will focus on a lot of field) I think you should learn C#.

Answer 3

javascript is an interpreted language, interpreted by the browser (like html and css is rendered by the browser). on the other hand, languages like c/c++, fortran etc. are compiled languages, your code gets compiled to an executable file.

javascript is useful, considering what you can do with it on web pages. adding interactivity, dynamics dtc to your web page.
