*Not to be [confused](often_confused.md) with [Java](java.md).*
JavaScript (JS) is a very [popular](shit.md), highly [shitty](shit.md) [bloated](bloat.md) [scripting](script.md) [programming language](programming_language.md) used mainly on the [web](www.md). The language is basically the centerpoint of [web development](webdev.md), possibly the worst area a programmer can find himself in, so it is responsible for a great number of [suicides](suicide.md), the language is infamously surrounded by a clusterfuck of most toxic [frameworks](framework.md) you can imagine and a curious fact is also that people who program in JavaScript are less intelligent than people who don't program at all. JavaScript is NOT to be confused with an unrelated language called [Java](java.md), which for some time used to be used on the web too but works very differently. JavaScript should also not be confused with [ECMAScript](ecmascript.md), a language standard which JavaScript is based on but to which it adds yet more antifeatures, i.e. JavaScript is a dialect of ECMAScript (other similar ECMAScript-based languages are e.g. ActionScript and JScript). [LRS](lrs.md) stance towards this language is clear: as any other mainstream [modern](modern.md) language **JavaScript is an absolutely unacceptable choice for any serious project**, though it may be used for quick experiments and ugly temporary programs as the language is high level, i.e. extremely easy, it doesn't require any ability to think, it works in every browser (so you get a kind of [multiplatformness](multiplatform.md)) and allows making things such as [GUI](gui.md) and visualizations super quickly and easily. But remember that this kind of "comfort" always comes for a cost too high to pay.

By now it's a common knowledge that JavaScript is used exclusively to implement antifeatures such [DRM](drm.md), cryptominers, [spyware](spyware.md), [bloat](bloat.md), [ads](marketing.md) and CO2 increasers ([YouTube](youtube.md) started to artificially throttle the [CPU](cpu.md) of browsers with adblocks to punish them).

**How bloated is JavaScript?** Very much. A [MINIMALIST](minimalism.md) [C](c.md) implementation called QuickJS has around 80K [lines of code](loc.md) -- compare e.g. to about 25K for [tcc](tcc.md), a similar style implementation of C, and about 5K for [comun](comun.md). A more mainstream implementation of JavaScript, the [v8](v8.md) engine (used e.g. in node.js) has **over 1 million lines of code** of C++. { Checked with *cloc*. V8 also contains web assembly aside from JavaScript, but still you get the idea. ~drummyfish }

**Why is it called JavaScript if it has nothing to do with Java?** Simply put the name was chosen because back then Java was the big thing and they wanted to show that JavaScript is kind of similar but complementary, the developers of the languages were associated with each other and they thought it would be good [marketing](marketing.md) to associate the languages through naming, but of course the languages are completely different.
{ Kek in 2024 JavaScript killed the Internet Archive :D Some JS library allowed some kinda cracker to bring it down or something, as of writing this the archive has been dead for more than a week and a recovery is still nowhere in sight, of course this also crippled or killed many other sites that rely on IA such as Librivox. Good job soydev retards, I wonder whose idea it was to use JavaScript on the site. ~drummyfish }
