This should apply to EVERY PROGRAM for a final user. It can be written in C, Go, Rust, PHP, compiled Ruby. Final user doesn't care what language it's written in, it shouldn't crash, should be intuitive and fast, and this can be achieved with any programming language, unless it's written in JS in Node and wrapped with Chrome, then will be lagging. Completely invalid argument for me.
