The UX is amazing. Good job!

The domain name itself is awesome. How much did it cost?

Minor bug:

On https://www.javascript.com/try when submitting more than one command a horizontal scroll bar appeared and blocked my view of what I was typing at the bottom of the console. (Making the console unusable.)

I fixed it by sticking overflow-x: hidden; onto the element's style. A bodged fix, but the bug should probably be looked into.

Using latest Chrome on Windows 7.

Very nice design and UX, indeed. I'd love to see other languages on that 'platform', too.

Oh, and... "Don't be afraid when a box pops up — that's your code working, Penis!"

I'm sorry. I really tried, but I couldn't resist.

I'd think that Oracle would like at least a mention of their trademark on this domain...

Seems like an interesting concept, but I still find crowdsourced tutorial websites far better and up-to-date. Example: http://hackr.io/tutorials/javascript
