@ -13,7 +13,8 @@ Like all computer languages, JavaScript has certain advantages and disadvantages
* **Server Load**. Being client-side reduces the demand on the website server.
* **Rich interfaces**. Drag and drop components or slider may give a rich interface to your website.
* **Extended Functionality**. Third party add-ons like Greasemonkey enable JavaScript developers to write snippets of JavaScript which can execute on desired web pages to extend its functionality.
* **Versatility**. Nowadays, there are many ways to use JavaScript through Node.js servers. If you were to bootstrap node.js with Express, use a document database like mongodb, and use JavaScript on the front-end for clients, it is possible to develop an entire JavaScript app from front to back using only JavaScript.
* **Frameworks**. If there is anything JavaScript could thank for its wild success, its frameworks. With the rise in demand of the popular <a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MEAN_(software_bundle)' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>MEAN Stack</a>, JavaScript is giving developers a true bang for their buck. In addition to Node and React, both extremely helpful in web development and continually trending, other frameworks such as <a href='https://facebook.github.io/react-native/' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>React Native</a>, are giving JavaScript developers the ability to create their own hybrid mobile applications. With just one language, developers can, and will, go far with JavaScript.
* **Versatility**. Nowadays, there are many ways to use JavaScript through <a href='https://nodejs.org/en/' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>Node.js</a> servers. If you were to bootstrap node.js with Express, use a document database like <a href='https://www.mongodb.com/' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>MongoDB</a>, and use JavaScript on the front-end for clients, it is possible to develop an entire JavaScript app from front to back using only JavaScript.
* **Updates**. Since the advent of EcmaScript 5 (the scripting specification that Javascript relies on), Ecma International has dedicated to updating JavaScript annually. So far, we have received browser support for ES6 in 2017 and look forward to ES7 being supported in future months.
