![]() ![]() At Metta, we use JavaScript in our entire web stack, but we also use JavaScript in other places too. ![]() But when it comes to web development, the only available language is JavaScript, and that's what makes it so popular and common and important to learn when you're developing web applications. There are choices to use other languages like you could use C plus plus or you could use Java, or you could use other things. In game development or other types of applications. What are the things that makes JavaScript so popular and important is that it's the only language that is used in web development. But now we see the world runs using JavaScript and just about every application we interact with today probably has some JavaScript in it, one way or another. People used to sometimes not take JavaScript very seriously and think like it's a language that's not used by real and serious developers. The other more attractive or interesting languages at the time were people writing in Java or C plus, plus. I hadn't actually learned it in university or in my courses. The first time I use JavaScript was, I was an intern at the time Facebook and then the time JavaScript had not been as popular and as common. Nowadays, we are in a world where JavaScript is so common and so used across a lot of technologies and a lot of devices that it's become a language that cannot be replaced. I've been coding in JavaScript since 2012, so JavaScript is actually something that as you're watching me now through this video, it's something that you're using probably as you made your coffee this morning, maybe your coffee maker had some JavaScript, your car might have JavaScript. I'm a software engineer at Meta based in the Seattle office. Anytime you're using a browser, anytime you're browsing the Internet, you are using JavaScript. ![]()
