Well that's just biased. Saying application is bloated (which is often not true) is the result of an entire ecosystem, has something to do with an interpreter, is ridiculous. Any qualified software engineer can see the fault in such a comment. You probably know that as well.

So I consider your comment trolling.

Is have to agree to be honest. Whoever decided to run JavaScript in the backend should be committed to a mental institution. JavaScript is a nightmare. But you can't tell a man something his paycheck depends on him not knowing.
