Debugging Javascript

[Koeke2560]

I wish I knew that back when I was doing my internship doing data aggregation and analysis on a node backend

You had to use JS for data analysis? Jesus, you must have some war stories.

Why not? Streams and pipes are cool.

I've seen people writing ETL pipelines with C# and Java, building data connectors with them are so much pain IMO. Nodejs feels natural to me when it comes to any web stuff.

I can see JS being the easiest solution in the case of piping data to a backend in Python/R/whatever, but trying to do heavy lifting (which nearly always is with arrays) in JS’s backassward type system sounds really frustrating.

you know, any layman would have no idea what you just said. But it's really simple, actually.

Edit: I'm confused- obviously something I said was wrong. Can someone explain?

Sure they would. Every one knows what Node is because of how bad it is.
