That was my first reaction until I noticed its object-orientated.
Then I baulked at having to rawdog node and npm on my machine.
no thank you.
You guys feel free to keep being JS-phobic but please don't describe setting up an ECMAScript runtime environment scarily complicated. It's
apt install node npmnotably on Ubuntu/Debian. That's it.Besides, there are Bun and Deno now which are evidently faster runtime than Node.
If you have a problem with the language itself, please criticise at it, not something made from it. In fact, being a programmatic schematic file, a script rather than a compiled language makes more sense because a script evolves faster in development while sacrificing performance. Performance isn't top priority.
And you said it's object-oriented? Which part of this piece of code in their tutorial looks OO to you?

You're arguing the wrong points. You didn't really read what I said.
I don't care about Javascript. I don't want my computer catching dependency hell or cryptominer herpes.
I don't want that shit rawdogging my system, go package it up into something sensible. I don't want its entrails all over my system and I don't want it breaking something elses dependencies.
