Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -JavaScript is a single-threaded language & follows asynchronous execution of the code. It makes applications consume fewer resources than other language implementations. It runs on browsers without any dependency, which can demonstrate how efficient the language is.

Detailed explanation-2: -JavaScript (JS) is a lightweight, interpreted, or just-in-time compiled programming language with first-class functions. While it is most well-known as the scripting language for Web pages, many non-browser environments also use it, such as Node.js, Apache CouchDB and Adobe Acrobat.

Detailed explanation-3: -Lightweight programming languages are designed to have small memory footprint, are easy to implement (important when porting a language to different computer systems), and/or have minimalist syntax and features. These programming languages have simple syntax and semantics, so one can learn them quickly and easily.

Detailed explanation-4: -Some examples of High Level languages are: JavaScript, C++, Python. JavaScript is an HLL because it has great flexibility (using functions as objects) and provides a lot of different data structures to work with without worrying about how they work internally.
