    LIMITATIONS OF JAVASCRIPT

                     Some limitations of using JavaScript are as follows:
                         JavaScript  runs in the  user’s  browser and can be  seen  through developer  tools,  exposing
                        business logic and making the code vulnerable
                        to tampering.

                         If JavaScript  is  disabled,  website  functionality   Brendan Eich, a programmer at Netscape,
                        may  be  disrupted,  affecting  accessibility  and    developed  JavaScript  in just  10 days  in
                        user experience.                                      May 1995.

                         Due to its flexibility, messy code is easy to write.

                         JavaScript may behave differently across browsers, leading to bugs or compatibility issues.

                         It is also prone to security risks, such as Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks, where attackers
                        can inject or execute malicious code.
