What is Javascript
Javascript was originally developed as a scripting language for the Netscape browser. Today it is standard for interactive frontends and dynamic, scalable web services, and a strong option for hybrid and native mobile apps.
Which use-cases exist for javascript?
Create dynamic websites
Javascript can interact with the server and the user; content can load dynamically. Widget tools inject behaviour without much boilerplate. Form fields can be validated before submit for a better experience.
Animations and motion design
Since Flash declined, motion on the web is Javascript — including charts and visualisations.
Client-side frameworks and SPAs
Backbone, Ember, Angular, React, Vue and others offer different approaches to structured interfaces.
Node.js and Meteor for scalable applications
Javascript on the server can share language with the frontend — useful sometimes, but not the only reason to choose it.

When we use Javascript in our agency
We mainly use Javascript in web and mobile frontends; occasionally Node for APIs. Pragmatic choices often mean Vanilla JS or jQuery; for larger apps we work with React, Angular or similar frameworks.
