I will always cherish the 2 years I spent doing nodejs work. I gleaned a new appreciation for stuff I've hated for a long time. npm helped me realize that maven is merely bad, no unforgivable. For instance. I still can't believe the nodejs universe doesn't have back pressure (eg caolan/async) baked into the stack. Those were some pretty difficult conversations. My teammates had no idea what I was talking about or why my fixes worked. Absolute paths for importing modules (requires) still makes me laugh. But criticizing nodejs, js, etc is rather pointless. Like PHP, it's fractally wrong.
