Node.js

A heavy-weight memory-intensive high-level slow language which is the latest "hype", even though severs using Node.JS are notorious for their lag spikes due to random stop-the-world garbage collection.

Whoever the fuck says Node.JS is "lightweight" is retarded. Hello world for C linked to musl commits 4kb of RAM and takes 0ms to run. Hello world with NodeJS 14 commits 34MB of RAM and takes 397ms to run.

Node.JS is a sick old dog. Let's put it out of its misery and get a young puppy named Go.

nodejs

A new programming framework for JavaScript built on Chrome's V8 JS Engine. Node is a non-blocking I/O language which is efficient and lightweight. Used by Netflix, Discord and a lot more high-level companies. It's becoming the top language for backend APIs & micro-service based infrastructures.

Person 1: Gonna code a bot in Java! Java FTW!
Person 2: Ew, get with the times - use NodeJS bb.
