nodejs ecosystem is much larger than the java one. also the amount of money companies invested in node is at least on par with java. think only about google chrome.


There's no advantage to using Node in a lot of cases though. Maybe if you're creating a microservice to generate email html or something. Data/state management, stream/job processing? Java or Kotlin all the way.

I have written a lot of Node services. Spent six years doing it. Gimme Java plz.
