Thank you so much for putting into words thoughts that resemble my own. I absolutely love how productive I am working with Node in JS vs anything else. I like C# and have enjoyed learning Rust, but nothing really compares. Yes, there are a number of footguns, but that's true of any language and platform. You can do stupid things in any number of platforms and languages. I don't even see anything particularly egregious in TFA for that matter. There are fortune 100 companies with systems handling hundreds of thousands of requests per second on a couple dozen servers in Node.js ... is it absolute performance for CPU intensive operations, not really, does it handle more simultaneous requests than everything else, not even close. What it does offer is a really good mix of good enough performance with unmatched developer productivity.
