<script ...
  function(){
   var someJsVar = "<c:out value='${someJstLVarFromBackend}'/>";

  }
</script>

This works even if you dont have a hidden/non-hidden input field set somewhere in the jsp.

As an answer I say No. You can only get values from jstl to javascript. But u can display the user name using javascript itself. Best ways are here. To display user name, if u have html like

<div id="uName"></div>

You can display user name as follows.

var val1 = document.getElementById('userName').value;
document.getElementById('uName').innerHTML = val1;

To get data from jstl to your javascript :

var userName = '<c:out value="${user}"/>';

here ${user} is the data you get as response(from backend).

Asigning number/array length

var arrayLength = <c:out value="${details.size()}"/>;

Advanced

function advanced(){
    var values = new Array();
    <c:if test="${empty details.users}">
       values.push("No user found"); 
    </c:if>         

    <c:if test="${!empty details.users}">
        <c:forEach var="user" items="${details.users}" varStatus="stat">
            values.push("${user.name}");   
        </c:forEach>
    </:c:if>
    alert("values[0] "+values[0]);

});
