I agree. Fat shaming for software. Otherwise you'll end up with a terminal emulator written with electron. Oh wait, that already exists. But seriously. If you don't tell people politely and explain what and why it's wrong, they'll never know that what they're doing could be better. Just ranting and shaming might not be the best way. Still I agree with all the NodeJS hate.

What hate do you refer to, and why do you agree with it? What's wrong with having a rapid development ecosystem within which to build that is fairly simple to install, run, and cycle? JavaScript, and NodeJS by extension, are just as viable as languages as any other out there. There are languages, such as Rust or Go, that people tout their benefits. However, I see no simple way to get an env set up, learn the language, and turn around anything of meaning in the time I could in JavaScript. There are some deficiencies in the platform, surely, but those (as I would expect) get resolved over time. I could make the same argument about having to get a JRE or a Python interpreter. Each language is going to have its deficiencies and bonuses.
