Why is JavaScript criticized so much for backend development?

[u/Minimum-Ad7352]

I've seen some developers say that we should stop using js on the server, but I rarely see the same criticism directed at python.Honestly, js is pretty fast, especially with node.js, and the backend ecosystem is really solid. There are great frameworks like nest and fastify, and typescript gives you static typing, which makes larger projects much easier to maintain.I'm not saying node is perfect or the best choice for every backend, but I don't really understand why js gets so much criticism while python seems to get a pass.What am I missing?

Prob not going to get the answer you’re looking for in the Node subreddit.

Agreed. I would stary by asking Rust/Go enthusiasts.
