This comment displays a lot of ignorance and prejudice. "JS people" have not been reinventing much at all. Operating Systems aren't even close to offering what "JS people" needs at the granularity they would benefit from. By that measure, the same complaint can be made about the Java or .NET virtual machine, for example. If anything, what the "JS people" of today is trying is to fix are all those "dangerous parts" that were added there with abandon by browser makers and OS people and will probably never be fixed in our lifetime. > I am also not really looking forward to when javascript realizes the need for persistent services It might surprise you, but Node.js works in the backend from day zero, and Service Workers have been working in the frontend for several years now. You're more than a decade behind the times.
