Isn’t this just what occurs when you move beyond a single language? I wouldn’t say he discovered how much better nodejs was over java, so much as he discovered that java isn’t the only way to do things; he would have probably had a similar epiphany with go, rust, smalltalk, clojure, haskell or pretty much any other not-java language. Imo this more an argument towards expanding beyond a single language/ecosystem; hopefully the author doesn’t make the same mistake with nodejs, nestling in and never moving beyond it for 10 years until finally realizing there might just be another way
