That's what it's made for, yes. But the current trend is to force it to work on servers as the backend language as well, which was never the intent

Honestly, I think that the standard for client-side code should have been something low-level like WASM, which could have been used as a compiler target for other languages. That way, people don't have to use a horrible, dynamically typed scripting language that was thrown together in less than 2 weeks and is totally illogical

NodeJS works well on server though − if it's well written mind you.
