Google Maps used a JavaScript API for as long as I can remember. I had the 
pleasure of talking to Google to try to determine the pricing for 
commercial use. The answer was up the lines of 'how much money you got?'. 
We used Esri's JavaScript API. 

https://w3techs.com/technologies/details/cp-javascript

"JavaScript is used as client-side programming language by 98.9% of all 
the websites."

https://gitnux.org/javascript-statistics/

"
JavaScript is used by 98.7% of all websites as of 2023"

I see that 98.x % on so many sites I'm a little suspicious. Some sites may 
use the <noscript/> tag to provide alternate functionality but speaking as 
someone who has done so web development, ain't gonna happen.
