In this article, we’ve discussed the important moments of JavaScript’s history as applied to ML. We’ve discussed some advantages to using JavaScript for machine learning, and also some of the challenges we’re facing, particularly in terms of the machine learning ecosystem. Finally, we set up an example development environment using Node.js, the Yarn package manager, Babel, and Browserify
To begin exploring and processing the data itself, read our book Hands-on Machine Learning with JavaScript.
Excited to announce the release of my latest book below, according to Burak Kanber, Author, tech CTO, engineer.

Python has always been, and remains, the language of choice for machine learning. This is due in part due to the maturity of the language, its ecosystem of machine learning libraries and frameworks, and the positive feedback loop of early machine learning efforts in Python. Recent developments in the JavaScript world, however, JavaScript for machine learning seem like an attractive proposition
We could well see a major machine learning renaissance in JavaScript within a few years, especially as consumer products like laptops and mobile devices become more powerful.
Advantages and challenges of JavaScript for machine learning JavaScript, like any other tool, has its advantages and disadvantages. Much of the historical criticism of JavaScript has focused on a few common themes: strange behavior in type coercion, the prototypical object-oriented model, difficulty organizing large codebases, and managing deeply nested asynchronous function calls with what many developers call callback hell. Fortunately, most of these historic gripes have been resolved by the introduction of ES6, that is, ECMAScript 2015, a recent update to the JavaScript syntax.
