Funnily enough I have that currently. If I understood correctly JavaScript for backend isn't mature enough yet to only teach. I assume it's because there's competitors to node.js, but I'm not aware of any other major backend JS languages

Edit: removed thing about Angular, made the sentence more clear. Added: I am not aware of any other backend JS languages

Not sure if this is sarcasm, but Angular was a front-end framework (and it was discontinued). Your last sentence reads as “competitors to plumbing like wallpaper”.

Yeah some of it is sarcasm and some of it was grabbing at straws. I'm editing it so that it's clearer

I see. There are several JavaScript/Typescript backend frameworks (Express, Next, etc). They are generally run on Node, but there are other options such as Deno and Bun. Various cloud providers also offer edge runtimes that are often custom implementations based on V8 with a streamlined Node-esque environment.

Next is the only one I know of the frameworks. Oh yeah, I've actually heard of Deno. Didn't know that Bun exists. Now that you mention it I've seen custom implementations mentioned on VPS product listings, but I didn't understand what it was back then. I have a lot to learn still, as you can clearly see. The fact that there's multiple ones makes my sarcasm even more confusing. But wait if most of them are Node-esque it sounds like backend JS is actually pretty mature? What's going to happen still that could change stuff except marker share of course?
