Check out meteorjs.  Javascript has a huge amount of buzz and usage these days, and meteorjs is a fairly simple fully integrated environment that allows you to do just about anything.  I don&#x27;t use it - I have been developing software since the early 90s and I am currently working in RoR.  But when I want to play around, it&#x27;s in meteorjs.  In my opinion, too many teams are using an environment that is too complex, ensuring that nothing is predictable.
