You aren't gonna die from drinking it, but it isn't sterile.
Simple crud apps can get by fine with those technologies, but in the future I'd still never use it because you're leaving huge amounts of performance gains on the table for virtually no benefit. I don't buy the argument that javascript is just easier to develop for because it's simply not. The js ecosystem is a disaster.
And nodejs only preforms well in hello world benchmarks, real world applications are nothing like that. Once you start having to manipulate large arrays or do any large amount of math nodejs preformance goes into the dumpster.
These technologies are great for prototyping and building a v1 release to see if what you're trying to achieve is actually possible, but you will regret it later on.
The reason I know this, I work at a startup where we literally had the same backend stack and its been nothing but preformance issue after preformance issue. And it all needs to be replaced. We would have been better off building everything with go/rust in the first place. Or even java.
Maybe I worded my comment poorly but the point still stands.
My point is mainly that was never the pitch that got ai the hype it did and imo doesn't justify the valuations even if we all lose our jobs to ai. Because it no longer seems like they even think its making other jobs go away.
