"JS is almost never the right tool for the job"

Except, you know, in the browser...

[mountainriver]

Yeah I didn’t get that part, JS is one of the most used languages because of the browser

[jpgvm]

This is fair. I don't write browser code.

[UnpossibleJim]

Web Assembly is right around the corner... still =P

[yakshaving_jgt]

That doesn’t mean you need to write JavaScript. You can write code in a reasonable language that compiles to JavaScript.

[fulafel]

Sometimes yes but for a lot of situations we have better options, like ClojureScript, TypeScript, etc.

I assume they meant everything, except the browser (like electron apps or NodeJS on the backend).
