Indeed that seems to be the moral of the story for a lot of cases that I know of: - plain JavaScript/jQuery to React - Ruby on Rails/Node.js to Golang Many people might dismiss the former as an inferior language, but the point is, you might not have enough time to write a successful software in latter given the time and window of opportunity. And the initial boost of productivity with a simpler language might be important. Of course the reverse can be bad as well when you have an unmaintainable 50k lines jQuery app and nobody wants to rewrite that with a proper framework.
