The only JS entry I see in the top 20 uses a custom JS runtime that has "no support for ES modules". Not exactly a production ready application.

That's moving the goal post though. The argument was "High performance != Any Scripting language", which is clearly not true.

I suppose you'd need to have Facebook-level scale for infrastructure to cost more than development in a "faster" language.
