If you are new here, welcome to the JavaScript community! This community is entirely dedicated to the JavaScript language.

What is JavaScript?


JavaScript (a dialect of ECMAScript) is a high-level, dynamic, multi-paradigm, object-oriented, prototype-based, weakly-typed, and interpreted language traditionally used for client-side scripting in web browsers. JavaScript can also be run outside of the browser with the use of a framework like Node.js, Nashorn, Wakanda, or Google Apps Script. Despite the name, it is unrelated to the Java programming language and shares only superficial similarities.

What you can do


  • Ask questions about the JavaScript language
  • Ask questions about JavaScript code
  • Ask questions about the ECMAScript standard
  • Compare different ECMAScript versions
  • Share JavaScript code you made
  • Share JavaScript lessons
  • Post nearly everything about JavaScript, or which contains JS code

What you can't do


  • Ask questions about usage of browser Developer Tools
  • Ask questions about code editor usage
  • Post content that is: rude, spam, aggressive, NSFW

Do you have questions?
