I suppose another way to put it is that there are too many negative and "hostile" words ("waste", "don't", "no", etc). Your suggestion manages to avoid all of those.
Primarily the first sentence was a huge turn-off for me. Researching your technology and understanding it is never a waste of time. And Server-Side JavaScript is not some magic bullet where you need to know nothing but can write amazing applications. It is a tricky environment with some great power and massive 'gotchas'.
Personally I think you should either remove reference to research or fully embrace the word. A sales point could be more along the lines of: "Popular server-side JavaScript frameworks already connected and configured to allow you to jump directly into a working example. Great for bootstrapping your research project or spinning up servers for your already written application!" But, I have no silver-tongue so take my wording advice with caution. ;)
