It's kind of funny but also depressing watching all the frontend people try to force Javascript onto the backend. They've been slowly rewriting their tooling using more suitable languages:
- esbuild (Go) is 100x faster than webpack and friends
- Bun (Zig) and Deno (Rust) are ~2x faster than Node
- Typescript recently announced a rewrite in Go for an expected 10x performance gain
Maybe one day they'll realize that those languages are good for more than developer tooling? Maybe they can even be used for serving web content?
