We do it in Europe too, but maybe for 10-20 houses. Not 200

We are not the same

The reality is that most backends don’t use compiled languages, but stuff like PHP, Java and Python.

NodeJS scores very high on performance, concurrency, and especially IO, in that category.

And calling it abysmal compared to compiled languages is not fair, but yes, there are much better alternatives.

You can bash the Javascript language all you want, but don’t come for its performance lol. Nodejs was very fast across the board when it came out, and still beats most scripting languages. Even some bigger runtimes in IO.
