I think that the development speed was a huge factor, it was probably easier to get a good-enough node system up in 3 months than a similar system in java.

I don't know of any mainstream language where 3 months is too short to do something fairly large.
I do agree with your point, but I'd say "1 day" instead of 3 months. After enough time elapses, JS quirks and lack of typing become a net time loss, compared to (for example) C#.
