Using the OpenAI API with Node.js/JavaScript

JavaScript is the first programming language we're going to look at. JavaScript was originally created for scripting functionality on web pages. However, today, JavaScript can be used for just about any type of application development, from building websites and mobile apps to creating command-line tools, chatbots, and voice assistants – all thanks to Node. As mentioned previously, Node is a runtime environment for JavaScript. It lets us use JavaScript outside the web browser.

JavaScript and Node.js are both free to use and can be run on Linux, macOS, and Windows operating systems. But we won't be installing Node.js or running anything locally because all of our code will be run on replit. However, none of the code we'll be writing is in any way dependent on replit. So, everything we'll be doing could be done in any environment that was properly configured for Node development.

Alright, let's get to...
