What I've feel is ignored in the community is that actual backend development never reached a point of wide adoption with javascript/node. Certainly node and alikes are used to deliver front end code, as front end api or api layer in between. But the vast majority of backend development remained in the power of established tech. The (natural) attempt of JS tech to push into backends, led to some accidental constructs, a mix of JS and other techonologies which may act more like walls then bridges. Tech stack responsibility is blurred because of JS's omnipresence, which leads to several problems. I think some people start to realize that JS is a useful front end platform but must not be the default tool for a backend platform.
