Well, standard JavaScript only runs in the browser and doesn't have 
access to the file system or the command line. You'd have to use 
something like Node.js (server side JavaScript).

This is also the reason why I don't find JavaScript a good choice for 
learning: It doesn't run on its own, it's limited to editing HTML, and 
it requires some previous knowledge.
