The contract of the web is that while the client-side language in use may not be up to the discretion of the developer (recent evolutions in WASM notwithstanding), the server-side language/framework/OS/etc. can be literally anything which speaks the protocol of HTTP/HTML/etc. JS frameworks for years have repeatedly broken that contract with the claim that we must accept it for…well, "reasons". If it turns out most of those reasons are bupkis—more a matter of preferences than requirements—then we must stop breaking the contract. JS as a server-side language should _get in line_ alongside all the other languages out there.
Why privilege it if we don't need to?
