SidTheITGuy994410h@badger yea no shit, given the sheer size of node modules folder, the entire framework written in JS, the connectors, plugging mechanisms written in Js,
surely not a JS issue. -

jestdotty671310hthat's funny
I was using tomcat and websphere and stuff and those tools took 40 seconds minimum to boot even if they had nothing configured
then I touched JavaScript for backend and everything just ran in a fraction of a second...
older server software was waaaayyy slower. javascript ended up being a revolution in speed up -
badger205h@SidTheITGuy so does entity framework and that's written in a proper language*. The common denominator is ORM.
* yes, I know. -
@SidTheITGuy all orm sucks. SQL is the language of Allah and it doesn't need any abstraction.

@SidTheITGuy i had an interview with a guy from india. Asked me a bunch of stupid question about design pattern and java and why did i put java on my resume if i never touched fucking java and i was like "idk that's just some stupider C++"

i remember my first time with node, that wonderful nite i lost my virginity. I was young and naive and we were hanging out in an IRC made by some friend at the comp sci school.
All my mates were in comp sci school and we were hanging out there with this guy. One time some girls from france came and it ended up in an orgy. A friend of mine broke his pp into a friend's gf while they were having a threesome. I wasn't in the inner circle though so i wasn't invited
Later that guy told me that he could never have had an orgasm, which is very rare as a male.
Anyway we were hanging out and he tried node and it was that cli tool that run javascript. Magic

I cannot put into words how much I hate JavaScript.
My latest frustration with it is, there's a datasource.initialize() function that gets called when the local dev server boots. For just 25 model files, the fucker takes 1 minute 40 seconds to connect to my local postgres.
One code change, and it repeats the entire process. Anyone else face this before?
