Lemmy uses javascript package managment with a tool (
pnpm) that would not exist without nodejs. And as bad as javascript package management is, it could be worse. Just look at the python package management ecosystem.I don't think much of the node ecosystem, but darkmode's point is correct even though the backend doesn't run in a node interpreter.
None of this takes away anything from shitting on this particular clown though.
Only tangentially related, but I recommend reading this post from a cool technologist I like. There's plenty to critique in the world of software without falling into the well-worn rut of the flame war patterns laid down by the brogrammers that stole this profession from the women that started it.
im not a programmer, just a relatively computer competent layman but ill die on the hill that browser and web developers should be shot into the sun regardless of the language for how they've completely destroyed the idea of privacy on the web, the amount of data that browsers give out for seemingly no good reason is crazy from my perspective
tbh almost all that can be laid at the foot of Google. would've been Microsoft but they got spooked by the antitrust lawsuit they beat and didn't consolidate their monopoly on browser tech like they were heading towards. Google watched them get sued and just did the same thing they were trying with IE but with Chrome
i mean of course the google execs get put on the rocketship with them but im giving as much sympathy to chrome devs as i do to troops in the US military
