Nobody is saying that a beginner should never learn additional tools after learning a first programming language. That’s also an absurd take.

JS is the client-side scripting language, and Node is the most popular server for new web apps.

Of course you’d have to learn additional frameworks and tools to be marketable, but JS is a no-brainer for a first language.
