Just a quick show of hands...

JavaScript

"It's Java, but for the browser!"

"It's only used to animate stuff in your website..."

"Only used on the frontend..."

Oh you couldn't be more wrong!

JavaScript

"JavaScript is a high-level, dynamic, untyped, and interpreted programming language. It has been standardized in the ECMAScript language specification."

Wait... Whaat!?

JavaScript

Fully fledged technology.

Capable of running almost everywhere (your browser is just the begining!)

In fact, tons of enterprises run backend services in JavaScript through NodeJS

Please, I want more!
