JavaScript is a high-level, dynamic programming language that conforms to the ECMAScript specification. Originally developed by Netscape to add interactive elements to websites, JavaScript has become a core technology of the World Wide Web, alongside HTML and CSS, and is supported by all major browsers without the need for plugins.
Node.js, a JavaScript runtime, allows for JavaScript to be used on the server-side, enabling the development of fast, scalable network applications. This versatility makes JavaScript unique in its ability to handle both client-side and server-side programming.
Benchmarks
This benchmark tests how fast a programming language can perform mathematical computations without any I/O or memory allocation. We are using the Leibniz formula to approximate the value of PI. Please note that the memory usage also includes the memory used by the HTTP server. Ideally, the most lightweight HTTP server should be used to measure the raw memory usage of the runtime.
