As much as I dislike Javascript, I can't agree with this article. There's tremendous value in using the same language in both the front and back ends. I personally might argue that with the prevalence of compile-to-js languages (Haskell being my personal favorite) there's no reason to use Javascript any more. But that doesn't mean that everyone else's calculus is the same. And if you use JS on the front end, there's a compelling reason to also use it on the backend.
