There are a lot of people out there that don't want to deal with Javascript or (worse) Node.js. since they consider them to be abominations. Life is too short to be spending it in these environments.

I don't do clientside programming but as a scientist I'm -- very annoyed -- that we have settled for something as bad as Javascript, whilst better languages are languishing.
