How developing nations are improving their way of living through JS communities
summary
Colombia builds city-level JavaScript meetups, online study groups and bootcamps using tools like JavaScript, React and jQuery and free online platforms, and a Medellín tech hub rents offices free for two years to startups. These communities grow to 4,000+ members in some groups, drive 60% year‑over‑year learning growth and coincide with about 110,000 new jobs in two years, showing that grassroots JS education measurably increases employability and visibility.
