- The phrase 'It’s Just JavaScript' is often used to imply that a project is approachable because it uses JavaScript, a ubiquitous language.
- JavaScript can be used in various environments like browsers (DOM APIs), servers (Node.js), and with tools requiring compilation (JSX, TypeScript).
- Not all JavaScript code is standard; some requires specific runtimes, tools, or frameworks (e.g., process.env in Node, JSX in React).
- Context is crucial: understanding where and how the code runs (browser, server, specific tools) is necessary to grasp its functionality.
- True 'Just JavaScript' refers to code that runs universally without needing special tools, runtimes, or compilation steps.
