Although popular frameworks like Vue, React, Angular, and many more have taken the heavy lifting out of Javascript, there is still a lot you should know about the language that underpins them.

Back in the day, even before jQuery, you wrote everything from scratch. This led to a better understanding of the language that supports frameworks and libraries, such as those mentioned above.

So cut to the chase, there are a lot of functions that you use every day when writing Javascript that are not actually part of the Javascript specification, and some of them will surprise you.

Some of the commands that are not part of Javascript

• console
• alert
• confirm
• fetch
• setInterval
• setTimeout

As I said, it’s surprising, as you probably use them every day when coding.
