+# Plugins
+
+Irccd can be extended with JavaScript plugins. This chapter will tell you how plugins work within irccd and how to
+create your first plugin.
+
+This chapter covers also some things to do and to avoid in plugins.
+
+## Why JavaScript?
+
+You may wonder why JavaScript was chosen in irccd. Originally, irccd used Lua as the scripting language but for many
+reasons, it has been replaced with JavaScript.
+
+However, many aspects between Lua and JavaScript are similar:
+
+- Both languages are extremly small with very light API,
+- It is easy to sandbox the interpreter for security reasons,
+- It is very easy to implement your own API from C++ code.
+
+The current JavaScript interpreter is powered by [Duktape][duktape].
