In the context of JavaScript, a community is a group of people who share an interest in learning, developing, and using the language. This could include developers, designers, educators, and hobbyists who come together to share their knowledge and experience with one another. The community can provide support for new learners, resources to help deepen understanding, and a platform to collaborate on projects. Ultimately, it serves as a place to foster growth and innovation in the field.
