Stand-alone application to run and learn JavaScript?

Question

Since it's recommended as one of the best books on the subject, I started reading David Flanagan's "JavaScript: The Definitive Guide, 6th ed".

Besides the browser-based solutions mentioned in the book (Chrome's Console seen through Wrench > Tools) or Firefox's Firebug addon, is there a stand-alone application that can run, debug, and profile JS code?

Thank you.

Does Node.js count? If so then that.

You can try nodejs. It has a command line interface as well.

You can put debugger; on your js code and when the browser will get to this line you can debug your js in Visual Studio for example.

You can also use F12 Developer Tools by clicking F12 on IE to debug your js application
