Depends on which javascript you mean. You have few options - all the scripts bellow should be saved with .bat extension:

1) JScript that comes with csript.exe:

@if (@X) == (@Y) @end /*
@cscript //E:JScript //nologo "%~f0" "%*"
@exit /b %errorlevel%
*/

WScript.StdOut.WriteLine("Echo from cscript's javascript");

2) javascript that comes with HTA/IExplorer (which allows you also to use UI elements and access to the local file system):

 



Hello from HTA's javascript
    

3) JSCrip.NET - may be most powerfull option as gives you access to the .NET framework (though it creates a small .exe file):

@if (@X)==(@Y) @end /* JScript comment
@echo off
setlocal

for /f "tokens=* delims=" %%v in ('dir /b /s /a:-d  /o:-n "%SystemRoot%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\*jsc.exe"') do (
   set "jsc=%%v"
)

if not exist "%~n0.exe" (
    "%jsc%" /nologo /out:"%~n0.exe" "%~dpsfnx0"
)

%~n0.exe %*

endlocal & exit /b %errorlevel%


*/

import System;
Console.Write("Echo from .NET")

There are ways to use it without creating this exe file ,but this is the most readable way according to me.

4) If you are aming NODE.JS there's also a way:
