Javascript is a great programming language like perl.
It is a unique language as it runs with the browser as OS or VM.
In the case of javascript the context matters more than anything else.
Javascript cannot run in an OS. It's OS is the browser.
Generally true in practice as most folks use this for browser client side
programming. Javascript runs on web servers too and can be used for back
end web application programming. Node.js has been making news in the recent
past as a good asynchronous server.
