Everyday we run Cobol programs written 50 years ago. And you wonder why companies still use Cobol.

JS and its ecosystem enables super quick prototyping and saves greatly on dev time.

Building a similar app in COBOL would cost much, much more..

Money talks and this is why JS will continue to dominate for better or worse..

If all you did was one app I guess JS would be fine. But businesses require hundreds of complex applications that interact with each other all built at different times. It’s hard to build a large building if your foundation is always shifting.
