Rust Is Eating JavaScript

Java was largely already being abandoned before NodeJS existed. A huge percentage of the web 2.0 companies were built on Rails. Twitter, Github, Shopify, AirBnB, Groupon, SoundCloud, Instacart were all built on Rails. It maybe flew beneath your radar but it was a phenomenon at the time, way before Node.js even existed.

Those examples aren't representative of the broader industry though. There are far more devs working at former Java and .NET shops that have never written a single line of Ruby and are all in on JS/TS now

What you are saying is hyperbole. They are "All" in JS/TS now? I never said JS wasn't bigger than Rails, but Rails was the first and biggest axe to fall against Java. JS just took the baton from them

I said they've gone "all in", not that they're all using JS/TS now
