I wonder: What in JS ist not well thought. I don't like programming JS, but compared to PHP it has many neat features and ways to get things done. It's just different from other languages.

Parallel works. You can even create a deadlock very easy. Also, Node.js can spawn new processes.

Honestly, this has been done to death and it's pretty well accepted that it's not a great, or even good language, so I wont go over it again. It was a language designed in a few days to handle some basic client interactivity and it's good it that, it's just not good at anything more complicated than that, even despite the astronomical amount of effort people have put into working around it's warts.

And yet it handles incoming requests on a single process.
