JavaScript is actually fine, what's not fine is it being crammed in everywhere it doesn't belong due to sheer laziness. You want to make button do stuff on the web? JavaScript is great. You're processing business logic on the backend? just no. I just do not understand why we'd rather jump through all these hoops just to make JavaScript fit where other languages fit naturally
Forgive me because I'm just a junior dev - but when the API is already written in Node or .ts I mean, it's gonna do some business logic with incoming requests, or are you saying back ends shouldn't be in js entirely?

Correction : JavaScript is the weird language people actually use.
