        If done correctly. Electron is slow as crap in most cases. It can be optimized but it usually isn’t.

        I know that Electron≠JavaScript, of course but JavaScript continous being used for stuff it shouldn’t be used for

      Yes it has, this meme is not necessarily with the times

      Edit: or at least, a tiny bit dated. Although I’ve written and deployed express servers… Haven’t yet encountered any enterprise level back-end architecture written in JavaScript.

      Usually in C# or Java.

    I often jokingly push for 2 technologies at work. The first is Oracle Linux 9 and the second is Electron.

    Everyone wants to removed about JavaScript. How about using languages like Python and Java to create websites? You have to use an entire bloated framework and compilation just to be able to use a language that was never intended to be used for websites. Java web frameworks are atrocious.

        Right. JavaScript is a web tool and is used for the web. The other two I mentioned are not, yet they don’t get anywhere near the same amount of hate as JavaScript does. We get it, JavaScript has loose typing and was primarily a scripting language 30 years ago. Things change. JavaScript is a robust language capable of OOP now, and you can even add typing if that’s your hangup
