  Scripting languages are just that, for plain scripts, not full blown applications.

    that's my point. you don't get rid of the tools you use incorrectly, you learn to use them correctly.

      I was talking in the context of making full stack applications, not scripts for copying files around, automate software installation and such. And even there I am most likely to use a ML derivative language than Perl, Python or something else.

      What is the correct use of node.js? I claim there is none.

  weakly typed != scripting.
