Oh, come on. JavaScript doesn’t mean pages take 500ms to load. On my Node.js-powered server [1], pages take a handful of ms, and they only take that long because I’m doing a lot of sophisticated content management.

JavaScript has got some rough spots, but it’s a fine language these days, with a nice multi paradigm support.

[1] jamesshore.com or letscodejavascript.com — they both run on the same servers.

I'm pretty sure they're talking about client side JS bundles, not a NodeJS server that renders HTML.

Heh, good point. It’s still a silly language-wars comment, but it makes more sense.
