Created by Brendan Eich, JavaScript is a global website platform designed using a high-level programming language that makes it more convenient for non-developers, hence its consideration as a user-friendly language. JavaScript provides attractive user experiences as it enables interactive aspects in web pages.  JS was designed in a way that facilitates its operation with minimum effort in PCs and mobile browsing systems. It is also consistent across all browsers including -Opera Mini, Mozilla Firefox, Chrome and Internet Explorer. Many companies prefer  outsourcing Javascript  development to benefit from the expertise and efficiency that these partner companies can provide.

Microsoft’s New Programming Language ‘Bosque’ Keeps Your Code Simple

Image
Microsoft has  launched  a new programming language called Bosque. The company says Bosque has been designed to write code that is “simple, obvious, and easy to reason” for both humans and machines. The purpose of this open-source project is to develop a functional programming language that prevents “accidental complexity” in coding and development. Codes generated in Bosque language are supposed to be simple and easy by adopting algebraic operations and avoiding techniques that create complexity. Bosque is the brainchild of Microsoft’s computer scientist Mark Marron and is based on syntax and types of TypeScript. It also uses the semantics ML and Node/JavaScript. Marron describes the new language as a move to shift from the paradigm of structured programming that became popular since the 1970s. In a structured programming model, the flow control is managed through loops, conditionals, and subroutines. Bosque gets rid of sources of complexity like loops, mutable state, an
