No mention of JS; not even a Gemini server in Node[0]. Finally a sane place to hang out! Kidding, but only half. The 'everything must be done in JS' is fairly annoying imho.

Great, doesn't disappoint; includes horrible emoji's :]

Emoji's are part of Unicode. Not bloat.

I wasn't thinking of bloat; it just looks unprofessional, in my opinion, and it is also very related to people who work with js almost exclusively.

Sure but "you can't use JS at all" is fairly annoying too.

Sure, I would never say that; pick the best tool for the job. Just 'everything' with JS is definitely not that.
