Worth clarification though on frontend / backend. For backend I feel like there is no real justification for using JS if you don’t want to or if you have a use case for something else like Python / Ruby etc.
If this article is front end focused then it’s a conversation about JS frameworks v vanilla JS again.
If this article is fullstack focused then again the conversation is very different depending on the required outcome.
One thing I do agree on. Learning vanilla JS for browser/dom manipulation is 💯 worth investing time in. Learning Node for backend, not so sure, there are many beautiful options for that full stack story.
This was written keeping in mind that someone who is beginner with knowledge of python and just entering into the web development should prefer JS over python.
The reasons are the one I mentioned.
The college students get to know python in college and try to do every possible thing with it.
And the fact you can always move towards optimization and better things once you have stepped in.
In the end tech stack becomes secondary with experience. The knowledge to implement things become the primary goal.
And yes, it's written keeping the Frontend in mind.
Thank you for your feedback😀
