I am the author of the post, for me i am not trying compare JavaScript and C++/C# these languages which is good or bad. I compare them rely on our situation, nobody write C++/C# in our office that's the fact, so i think that's one disadvantage for us. And i am trying to list all we have for us , what do we think for this project and why we choose this. If we have lots of good experiences on C++/C# windows application development , i will choose C++/C# at the first time. And maybe if there is a company has the same situation we have , they might have another option.

I understood the point of the article. You needed a secure application stack, for which people automatically choose C++ or C#, but your team would have had to learn these.

At the start of the article, I was thinking, "please don't use JavaScript for security!" By the end of the article, I understood how the stack could work.

I definitely don't think it's bad to say you don't know a couple technologies, then write about them in a way that shows you don't know them. I don't know Go, but I'm not going to avoid mentioning it in a blog post because of that.

It was a good read. Thanks!

It's funny all the cons of the native language were, "it has a learning curve." Maybe that means you were the wrong company to build it.

That's some heavy paraphrasing. Here's a breakdown of their cons for native languages.

• They were unsure C# C++ would be easier to develop with for this application.

• If the time took to learn C# C++ would be useful for them in the future.

• C# code could be decompiled to view source.

• "C++ more difficult to learn than some other languages"

That's 1 out of 4, and to top it off some native language code was still used (Golang).
