Adding a javascript example is just as easy as Python, all you need to do is add a :language: parameter to the activecode directive.

.. activecode:: jstest1
   :language: javascript
   :nocodelens:

   var x = 10;
   var y = 11;
   var z = x + y;
   console.log(z);
   function fact(n) {
      if(n <= 1) return 1;
      else {
          return n * fact(n-1);
      }
   }
   console.log(fact(10));
   writeln('hello world');
