Some of my hate has been lessened after looking at microsoft's own benchmarks. NodeJS performs much faster than ASP.NET 4.6 + IIS. Core improves on this, but the point is after all these years writing .net applications I knew they weren't native performance but they were good enough. I didn't know javascript was just as good or even better in some areas. Now, implementing the entire browser rendering stack just so the dev can use css and html to develop the UI, that's a different issue, but not really a javascript issue.
