This does not conflict with Andrew Kelly's point! The software is not your js code!! Your js code is s tiny fraction of the software. The rest of it (including node) has serious design issues. JavaScript is an messy interpreted dynamically-typed language with a week type system that was designed for browser 30 years ago and even its creator discourages you from using it now.

This posts intention was not to conflict with his point. I used it as a hook and because the simple perfect function he was showing reminded me of the one I mentioned in the article.

And I agree with you on the second half :).
