I have never been a big fan of javascript on the backend(or the frontend for that matter but we have no choice).

A 200 l.o.c. promise chain vs a 10 liner in Python or PHP or Ruby?

Just feels dirty to me.

You shouldn't need promise chains nowadays since async/await is available. Also, I'd be interested to see 200 lines of idiomatic JS being written in 10 lines of idiomatic Python, PHP or Ruby if you have an example.
