The Reactive java frameworks are way more developer ergonomic than NodeJS if you use the virtual threads previews, otherwise you have to use callbacks/futures.

The Reactive java frameworks are way more developer ergonomic than NodeJS if you use the virtual threads previews, otherwise you have to use callbacks/futures. But at least you have runtime type checking... Vertx is way better than Node in a lot of ways, and faster, and easier to debug. Lock the event loop? You immediately get a log that you did something bad.

Like I just got an error in my IDE with TypeScript "ChartConfiguration is not generic". So I cmd+click into the type definition and it's a ChartConfiguration<T>. okay... The whole ecosystem feels super fragile. It hurts productivity and moral. This just doesn't happen with Java.
