JavaScript is a great language for writing and testing quick apps with user interaction
- A browser (e.g., Firefox or Chrome)
- A text editor (e.g., VS Code or Notepad++, or Chrome)
- No downloads required - almost every computer already has a browser
- No languages, tooling, or versions - browsers already run JavaScript
- Code using functional, declarative, object-oriented, imperative, and event-driven paradigms
- Built-in features for user input
- Easy-to-style with free, pre-made styles (hosted in CDN)
