I use dart lang, vania for backend, near performance to golang on production server

So this is where the monstrosity began

[akashpradhan]

JavaScript doesn’t even have the extensive OOP capabilities like other backend languages like Java, C# and even PHP. And learning Node just because we’re just too stupid or lazy to learn more than one programming language is not the way to go.

If nodejs failed, I wouldn't be a js backend developer. 🙆🏻

[ryanasnan]

Node js is long journey, because it modifies from client script to server script

Hahaha, popular doesnt come with quality. Who bring frontend coding languages to server is INSANE
