> If you're arguing JavaScript isn't as good as C++ or C, sure, it isn't, but few languages are, and none of those are frequently used for general-purpose web development. Java and Go work just fine here and both are used for webdevelopment. My point is that js in not suitable for many cpu-bound operations and neither webworkers nor multiple processes are enough to help it with that. In the browser you don't have other option, but on the server you can (and in practice people do) use other languages like java or go (not to mention C/C++). This is were things like image processing or full-text search goes.
