> Node is a problem

Fixed it for you.

The node ecosystem embodies mediocrity. There is no design, no testing, no stability, no benchmarks, no RFCs, no plan to produce a coherent product. Instead, you're giving a half baked set of features that are abandoned within 8-12 months. Not invented here syndrome runs wild, and over-engineering any solution is seen as a mark of accomplishment.

Simple things, like displaying static text, now require 25mb of js files for whatever framework the author is currently playing around with as a hobby. I miss the days of the web where you could just load a page in under 25kb.
