Yeah but on Node.js, Express has been the de facto framework of choice for building REST APIs for over 6 years. The JS fatigue phenomenon was mostly on the front end, and even that has basically settled down as people have rallied around React, Angular and Vue.

Not for our customers that keep happily using solutions based on Java and .NET platforms.

You must be joking. I never heard of Express and we have put several REST APIs into production in several companies.

Uh, what?

It might've become the defacto standard for consuming them, but definitely not for creating them.

Almost no service I've ever administered used a nodejs backend.

He never said anything about node being prevalent, only that Express was within node.
