What is JavaScript?
JavaScript, primarily known as a front-end language for Web applications, is quickly surpassing the popularity of not only other Web languages such as PHP, but even traditional back-end programming languages such as Java, at least according to the results of the latest annual survey from Stack Overflow, the popular question-and-answer site for developers and weekend hackers.

Described as “the most comprehensive developer survey ever conducted,” the Stack Overflow survey tallied the responses from 56,033 developers in 173 countries.
