JavaScript : Language of gods
You might have heard that JavaScript is becoming popular language among devs because of the flexibility and flavors provided by JavaScript. JavaScript became so popular that giant conglomerates are migrating to JS.
Corporate is paying shit ton of money for frontend devs. one of the reason why JS is so popular is because of node (experiment of ryan dahl). People started to realize that JS is more than just a language which can be used in frontend. nowadays JS is everywhere be it frontend , backend , desktop apps , PWAs , smart watches and even SpaceX uses JS as a interface of communication 😂

This definition may not make sense as of now , but it will as an when we start learning more about it , for the sake of understanding remember that JavaScript can be used for making your website interactive.
Example: let's say you're making a dating web app , so now there are 3 mechanisms comes in picture
- structure or skeleton of website : HTML
- styling or look and feel of website : CSS
- Interaction or events occured in website : JS
