One of the less obvious advantages of Node.js is when you throw TypeScript in the equation, suddenly you have a strongly typed language which serves both the frontend and the backend. This unified technology stack makes development with a large team much easier than when you have different technologies for backend and frontend.

TypeScript is a much less verbose and more expressive language than C# or Java, as long as you configure lint rules to exclude some of the crap it inherited from JavaScript it can be pretty nice. Although it would be nice if TypeScript could be compiled to bytecode and pick up 64 bit integers along the way.
Java is a pretty annoying language, typical Java apps are filled with boilerplate. Kotlin runs on the JVM also and is so much nicer.

Yeah because compared to Java, C# or many others it's stronger and reliable (IRONY).

Look into AssemblyScript then
@insidewhy you didn't get it, did you?
@insidewhy can you make an article how you configure ts to
exclude the crap from js?
