> Node.js (shouldn't this just be Javascript? Does having a different standard lib make it a different language?)
I think the dislike comes from the idea that JavaScript-development can be or at least was very messy and that "the JS-people" now try to carry that over to the server-side.
npm also has many issues and node as a server-side VM wasn't very dev-ops friendly in the beginning, if I'm not mistaken.
Note: This doesn't mean I don't like JS or node, I use them daily, though I have never used a production node-server. I'd rather run my JS on the JVM.
