<p>We have a tag <a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/javascript" class="post-tag" title="show questions tagged &#39;javascript&#39;" rel="tag">javascript</a> (16 questions, 4 are closed). It was created in 2011. I saw it prop up again in the active questions feed earlier today.</p>

<p>No question is tagged only with <a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/javascript" class="post-tag" title="show questions tagged &#39;javascript&#39;" rel="tag">javascript</a>, and it seems to cover all kinds of content where people simply employed JavaScript.</p>

<p>Do we need this tag?</p>

<p>In my opinion <a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/r" class="post-tag" title="show questions tagged &#39;r&#39;" rel="tag">r</a> is the outlier (one of the biggest tags in the site), we don't need tags for every programming/scripting language out there.</p>

<p>If JavaScript becomes a major language for statistics, it could be reused in the future, but for now we could simply un-tag the questions.</p>

<p>Thoughts?</p>
