"JavaScript is an easy-to-use object scripting language designed for creating live online applications that link together objects and resources on both clients and servers."
Interesting to note the mention of servers!
I actually forsee a wave of JavaScript innovation within the concept of a traditional backend server coming soon, and it's interesting to see them mention a server here.
I've forever been from the school of "Rule number 404: thou shall never use JavaScript on the server side.".
But with React 18 and the serverless wave, I can totally see myself writing backend controller code in TypeScript that gets deployed by Vercel in the near future.
- nojvek 3y agoWe migrated our api server from flask Python to node-express-typescript. The gains of async, stricter typing and being able to share api schema types with frontend were totally worth it. We got a nice boost on performance as well. Love js for api server.
