Tracing the Evolution: A Concise History
of JavaScript – Hinglish mein Samjhaav
Kya tumhe pata hai ki JavaScript sirf 10 din mein banayi gayi thi?
Haan, bilkul sahi suna. JavaScript ko Brendan Eich naam ke ek programmer ne banaya tha,
jo Netscape Communications company mein kaam karte the.
Shuruaat mein JavaScript ka naam ‘Mocha’ tha, phir ise ‘LiveScript’ kaha gaya, aur aakhir
mein ye evolve hokar ‘JavaScript’ ban gaya.
Shuruaat mein JavaScript ka purpose sirf web pages ko thoda dynamic aur interactive
banana tha — jaise buttons click karne par kaam ho, kuch animations aayein, ya form
validate ho jaye.
Lekin jaise-jaise HTML5 aur CSS3 ka vikas hua, JavaScript bhi aur powerful hoti gayi. Ab to
isse puri web applications aur interactive user interfaces banaye jaate hain.
JavaScript Frameworks aur Libraries
JavaScript ke grow hone ke saath-saath kaafi frameworks aur libraries aaye, jaise:
- AngularJS
- ReactJS
- [Link]
Inhone frontend development kaafi aasaan aur powerful bana diya.
Aur phir aaya [Link], jo ek JavaScript runtime environment hai — isne JavaScript ko
backend (server-side) development ke liye bhi use karne layak bana diya.
JavaScript: Ek Programming Language ya Scripting Language?
Jab log JavaScript padhte hain, to ek common question aata hai:
Kya JavaScript ek scripting language hai ya ek programming language?
Chalo pehle scripting aur programming languages ke beech ka farq samajhte hain:
Scripting Languages:
- Ye languages compiled nahi hoti, balki runtime par line-by-line execute hoti hain.
- Inka use fast development aur easy debugging ke liye hota hai.
- Ye aksar web development, automation, text processing jaise kaamon mein use hoti hain.
- JavaScript bhi shuruaat mein client-side scripting ke liye use hoti thi — jaise browser ke
andar HTML ke saath chalna.
Programming Languages:
- Ye languages compiled hoti hain, yani pehle code ko machine language mein convert kiya
jaata hai.
- Inka use zyada complex logic aur systems ke liye hota hai.
- Ye interpreter par depend nahi hoti, apna compiler hota hai.
JavaScript kya hai?
Technically JavaScript dono hai – scripting bhi aur programming bhi.
Ye scripting language ke features rakhti hai, lekin general-purpose programming ke kaam
bhi karti hai.
Isliye hum keh sakte hain:
JavaScript ek scripting language bhi hai aur lightweight programming language bhi.
JavaScript: Client-Side ya Server-Side Language?
JavaScript ko log aksar client-side scripting ke saath associate karte hain.
Ye sach bhi hai, kyunki:
- JavaScript web pages ko interactive banata hai.
- User ke clicks, scrolls, ya form inputs ke response mein kaam karta hai.
- Visual animations, DOM manipulation, forms validation – sab kuch ye client-side par karta
hai.
[Link] ke aane ke baad:
- JavaScript ko server-side par bhi use kiya jaa sakta hai.
- Ab hum JavaScript ka use karke backend services, APIs, aur complete web apps bana sakte
hain.
Conclusion:
Aaj ke time mein, JavaScript ko sirf client-side ya server-side kehna galat hoga.
Jaise paani ko sirf “wet” kehna uski versatility ko ignore karna hoga, waise hi JavaScript ko
sirf ek side ka kehna sahi nahi hai.
Ye dono kaam karti hai – front-end aur back-end.
JavaScript Engines: JavaScript Code Ko Chalane Wale Tools
JavaScript engine ek software hota hai jo tumhare likhe hue JavaScript code ko machine
instructions mein convert karta hai — taaki computer usse samajh sake.
Kuch popular JavaScript engines:
1. V8 – Google ne banaya hai, Chrome aur [Link] mein use hota hai. Fastest hai.
2. SpiderMonkey – Mozilla Firefox ka JavaScript engine hai.
3. JavaScriptCore – Apple ka Safari browser isse use karta hai.
4. Chakra – Microsoft Edge ka purana engine, ab V8 se replace ho chuka hai.
