Javascript is one of many programming languages. I wanted to explore it's uniqueness. Particularly, I was interested in finding things which are only available in JavaScript and not anywhere else. I was very disappointed. Still I have something to share.
dom management
JavaScript has ability to manipulate the web page on which it is running. It is the only language which is capable of doing this. I know about web assembly. But it is not used as much as JavaScript. So we all can agree that JavaScript is the only language for this task.
capable of managing web and content.
JavaScript is the only language which can manage browser window, local storage/session storage and other web based API (s) other than browser itself. It is the only language which is natively supported in browsers.
conclusion
We all can agree that JavaScript is the language of web. It was designed for this purpose as well. So naturally it's uniqueness can be found there. Rather than this it is almost impossible to find uniqueness from feature(s) or syntax perspective. JavaScript itself is adopting features from other programming languages and it's syntax is inspired from other programming languages as well. Feel free to share your findings and opinions below.
