JavaScript it was initially created for browsers
In those days there was a competition between Netscape Navigator browser and Microsoft Explorer. But the problem was websites which are made compatible with Netscape but not comaitable with explorer or vice versa, so to resolve this problem a standard had been created and that standard was ECMA, according to standard every client script has to follow that ECMA standard latter both Netscape and explore following same standard and became an ECMA standard in 1997.
Inital JavaScript was client side language. But now a days its a combo of the client side as well as server side, both allowing developers to build full-stack applications using a single language.
Overall, JavaScript is a powerful tool for web development, enabling developers to create dynamic and interactive experiences for users across various devices and platforms. Its widespread adoption and extensive ecosystem make it a vital language for modern web development.
