JavaScript usually runs in a browser, much like JSL runs in JMP. Neither one is a general purpose language for making programs that run outside of their intended environment.
You might be able to use node.js in place of a browser. There do not seem to be any other actively maintained projects to make JavaScript available outside of a browser. I've not used node.js.
I have used Selenium, via Python, to operate a browser.
The best JavaScript documentation is mozilla and you might be able to translate short functions to JSL easier than using a browser+selenium+python or node.js+RunProgram(?).

Please post back if you find a better answer.

I'm thinking that ChatGPT is confusing ".js" with ".jsl" here. What it's describing would work with JSL code, but not Javascript.

In addition to Craige's response, you might be able to use the JSL command Run Program() in conjunction with node.js to get something to work.

I see, can only use other methods to run JS.

I ended up using AutoHotkey to run JS and copy the result to the paste board.

JSL gets the result from the paste board.

Thanks Experts!
