CmonDev··on Hedge fund robots crushed human rivals in 2014
It's easier: just like CEOs delegate certain tasks to underlings, developers delegate certain tasks to compilers and tools. So writing vanilla JS is like CEO cleaning own office and doing accounting. Possible, might be enjoined, but generally inefficient and annoying.

It's simple: when looping either make stuff quick to collect or make it never collect.

CmonDev··on Walmart Labs: Why we run an open source program
"...(open source and otherwise)." - how will that "otherwise" help?
CmonDev··on Walmart Labs: Why we run an open source program
"The supply doesn’t meet demand, so it is important to do everything you can to help attract, and retrain talent."

First guess: people only think Node.js is a good idea until they try it outside of quick samples.

Third guess: back-end engineers avoid JS like plague - hence the separation into front- and back-end devs.
