JavaScript has come a long way since its meagre beginnings. It now has a position at all levels of the stack, entering a so-called “Golden Age”
FREMONT, CA: JavaScript started as virtually a toy language, to add some pleasant features — such as animation — and have some form of validation, among other things. However, in the last ten years, there has been a shift toward empowering employees on the front end. Essentially, the entire applications are developed using only one language: JavaScript or TypeScript. The typeScript was one of the numerous milestones that helped JavaScript "grow from its 'toy language' origins to its world invasion, from frontend to full stack," and it was "one of the essential advances that were necessary for JavaScript to scale," according to the experts.
While TypeScript may have given JavaScript additional credibility and the ability to scale, experts credit the rise of meta frameworks for JavaScript's rising presence across the stack. Meta frameworks focus more on the compute, execution, and rendering runtime technology, whereas frontend frameworks added a layer of abstraction to JavaScript development by providing reusable components for functionality and user interface elements.

For today's edge computing, JavaScript is the language of choice. Edge computing is used by meta frameworks like Next.js and Remix, making it easy to integrate backend programming into React apps. Regarding the hypothetical question of whether relying on one language across an entire stack is a good idea, experts say there are other languages and techniques to use JavaScript across the stack. Some experts also opinion that, the usage of a single language across the stack would enhance team productivity, cross-system testing and code reuse, however, it might also lead to several other issues.
JavaScript "Golden Age" of full-stack utility was raised as a question rather than a claim. There exist challenges in setting up everything, "the right manner, in a standardised way," which involves things like a dev environment with the rapid feedback, testing, linting, formatting, type checking, and building for production.
