1. Websites:

JavaScript was invented to add interactivity to websites by Brendan Eich back in 1995. This is JavaScript's main function. Almost all web sites are running JavaScript on some level. This is not as impressive as all the other things JavaScript can do.

2. Web Applications:
  
As computer technology and user interfaces become better, so has the ability to create robust web applications. Applications like Google Maps allow you to explore places all over the world. As you click and drag with the mouse, You may see a part of the map that gradually becomes more detailed. All of this is done using JavaScript.

3. Presentations:

JavaScript is frequently used to create presentations as websites. Using the RevealJS library, a JavaScript framework for creating presentations using HTML, becomes really easy if you’re already familiar with HTML and CSS. If you’re not familiar with these tools, you can still use slides.com, which uses RevealJS to build a web-based slide template for you.

4. Server Applications:

When NodeJS was created a few year ago, JavaScript transitioned from the browser and into the server. Since then, Node has been utilized by many major companies, such as Netflix, as a major component of their back-end infrastructure.

5. Web Servers:

While we’re on the topic of server applications. Have you seen Node’s Hello World application? It’s easy to build a web server in about 10 lines of code. Of course, you can create much more robust servers using node or the standard server application framework expressJS. Many of the previously mentioned applications using Node are actually built using the MEAN stack (Mongo, Express, Angular, Node), of which Express is a key component.

6. Games:

JavaScript has recently become a well-made venue for games. Additionally, with the advent of the HTML5 canvas, the intricacies in browser-based games has increased exponentially.

7. Art:

One of the new features in the HTML5 specification is the canvas element, which allows the browser to render three-dimensional shapes. The browser is now used as a new medium for digital art projects.

8. Smartwatch Apps:

The creators of smartwatch, Pebble has created Pebble.js, a small JavaScript framework that allows a developer to create an application for the Pebble watches using JavaScript. But Pebble makes up a smaller part of the market. 

9. Mobile Apps:

One of the most powerful things you can do with JavaScript is build applications for things that aren't the internet. For instance, mobile devices are now the most popular way to access the internet. This means that mobile applications are as important a product as a web products. React Native has recently been used in mobile development, and shows a lot of promise of becoming the major player across platforms. You can make mobile apps with JavaScript, and you can deploy and download right to Google Play or the Apple store. Facebook, AirBnB, and instagram are a few products that were made using React Native.

10. Flying Robots:

Several commercially available quadcopters come with a simple Operating System that makes it possible to install NodeJS. This allows you to program a flying robot using JavaScript.
