Hard disagree on Node (at least if you're using Typescript) not being a good server language, and I say this as someone who was a Java dev for the first 15 year

Hard disagree on Node (at least if you're using Typescript) not being a good server language, and I say this as someone who was a Java dev for the first 15 years of my career. I've seen more performance nightmares with Java compared to a well-written Node server, though Java has improved a ton in recent years with things like virtual threads and the community has generally seen the error of the unnecessary AbstractFactoryBuilderGenerator shit that was so common for a long time in Java.
