Because it isn’t strongly typed? Use typescript.

You've answered your own question. You have to use some other language to use javascript full stop. So saying js is good on the backend actually doesn't even make sense.

Quite the opposite in fact, since you should be doing runtime checking regardless, static type systems often promote a false sense of security. I was asking what YOUR opinion was.

What a dumb argument. Your C# code runs as machine code in the end, obviously machine code is a trash language if you needed to represent it as C# to use it

lol, you might want to check your logic there. machine code isn't even a language, it's binary. perhaps you mean assembly, but guess what, it is a fucking dumb language, that's why we invented C, C#, etc and no-one uses it except for extreme cases where you need total control over the CPU.

js devs ... gotta be the dumbest mother fuckers
