In the past few years, Python has become the preferred programming language for machine learning and deep learning. Most books and online courses on machine learning and deep learning either feature Python exclusively or along with R. Python has become very popular because of its rich roster of machine learning and deep learning libraries, optimized implementation, scalability, and versatile features. But Python is not the only option for programming machine learning applications. There's a growing community of developers who are using JavaScript to run machine learning models. While JavaScript is not a replacement for the rich Python machine learning landscape (yet), there are several good reasons to have JavaScript machine learning skills.

This article is part of our series on "AI education" (In partnership with Paperspace) In the past few years, Python has become the preferred programming language for machine learning and deep learning. Most books and online courses on machine learning and deep learning either feature Python exclusively or along with R. Python has become very popular because of its rich roster of machine learning and deep learning libraries, optimized implementation, scalability, and versatile features. But Python is not the only option for programming machine learning applications. There's a growing community of developers who are using JavaScript to run machine learning models. While JavaScript is not a replacement for the rich Python machine learning landscape (yet), there are several good reasons to have JavaScript machine learning skills.

JavaScript needs no special introduction -- it's one of the most popular cross-platform languages among web developers. And while some people consider it only a language for frontend development, JavaScript acts as an all-purpose programming language nowadays, and its possibilities are endless. Looking for the top JavaScript libraries that you can use in your Machine Learning projects? Synaptic is a well-known JavaScript neural network library created by MIT that can be used with Node.js or the browser. One significant feature of this library is its ability to build and train any first-order or second-order neural network architecture due to its architecture-free algorithm and pre-manufactured structure.

While Python and C programming languages have become a popular choice when it comes to machine learning framework, JavaScript is not too far behind. Looking around, one may find that JavaScript frameworks have also been implemented in AI. In fact, as per the GitHub review of best machine learning technologies, JavaScript occupies the third position after Python and C, while R falls in the eighth place. These JavaScript frameworks are boosting business growth with artificial intelligence and machine learning. In this article, in no particular order, we list top JavaScript-based machine learning frameworks.

Machine learning libraries are becoming faster and more accessible with each passing year, showing no signs of slowing down. While traditionally Python has been the go-to language for machine learning, nowadays neural networks can run in any language, including JavaScript! The web ecosystem has made a lot of progress in recent times and although JavaScript and Node.js are still less performant than Python and Java, they are now powerful enough to handle many machine learning problems. Web languages also have the advantage of being super accessible - all you need to run a JavaScript ML project is your web browser. Most JavaScript machine learning libraries are fairly new and still in development, but they do exist and are ready for you to try them.
