        Anything else, basically. There’s not a lot of languages that are currently used and much worse.

        My preference would lean towards something like Nim, probably, but I’m definitely not the best one to answer that. But javascript and its whole ecosystem is rotten (I mean, that’s sort of the reason the article exists here) and it is just not fit to make anything. The fact that people even bring javascript as the backend is a bit crazy to me.

          To clarify do you mean replacing JavaScript just on the backend? This article is about using JavaScript on the front end.

            I mean both. But while I understand that there is for now not a lot of alternatives for web scripting, there is a lot of backend languages which makes backend javascript even worse.
