and that node can run multiple threads

What do you mean by this? Yes, there are thread workers, but it's not the same as having "pure" multi-threaded application.

and that Microsoft has only TypeScript which Javascript people hate.

Yes, it's hated so much by the JS community that pretty much all popular JS libraries adopted it (and it has great adoption among JS community overall).

But when NPM is already light years ahead there will not be an equal.

NPM is not light years ahead, and I say this as someone who works as JS developer on the daily basis. It's good but nowhere near great. There are far too many packages where authors didn't put much thought into design, there are no agreed standards for many things and it's easy for dependencies to screw the project.

Compare that to Cargo which is light years ahead of pretty much every package manager out there.

I used the Electron inspired Visual Studio Code for 7 years. It is lightning fast and acts just like a desktop application.

Which, surprise, has been designed by Microsoft and is written in TypeScript. Also, Microsoft invested heavily into V8 to make VSC fast. Go run five Electron apps at once and see how performant that is. It's like running five Chrome instances. That's definitely not the way to go.

Read up on the Node cluster module and nodeaffinty. Full support for multicore cpus.
Node matches dotnet async patterns.

TypeScript is way better than Javascript. It MSFTs only real universal contribution to the Web world.

Compare NPM to NUGET and we find that nuget is a minnow compared to the whale NPM

NUGET is a wimp. In every way.

I can tell you are still hoodwinked into dotnet is better than chewing gum feeling. That will change once MSFT throws you under the bus like they did us their loyal adopters over the past 20 years.
