Never heard JS called "headless". Not sure I like it.

edit: all JS is "headless". almost all languages are headless. _Software_ can be headless or have a GUI. but languages are naturally headless.

Headless browsers. I guess this is a very closely related concept.

There’s a lot of server side js. Mostly plumbing code but there’s certainly “headless” js

I'm very aware of JS run on servers. And I knew that's what OP meant. I'm saying I'm not sure I like the usage. Maybe it's a generational dev vocabulary thing... I prefer "browser" or "client" JS vs "server" or backend
