  This place has a really strong pro-cloud pro-JS bent tho

    Pro js? Seems every thread about something built in javascript is full of people bashing it.

      JavaScript is a pretty popular language. Also HN is a slice of the developer community at large. I think anything that discusses JS is going to look pro-JS to a person that hates it. I don't think parent will find any high traffic developer discussion forum where people don't discuss JavaScript. I admit I don't like the language, but there's definitely both camps on this site, seemingly in similar proportions.

    It beats the pro-meme bent of other sites though.

      How is life over there? The idea of an invitation tree certainly sounds nice.

    No other language executes in browsers for historic reasons.[0] And there is reduced friction to developing all parts of the stack in a single language. Not all Javascript developers support the current state of the Node ecosystem. [0] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17051521 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17051521

    Of course it is because it serves the startup community and something like 99.999% of startups are web apps and ... well... javascript.
