Some people quit really easy, while others will go mad at the thought of it.

My grandpa used to smoke, and one day just put down his last cigarette and never touched it again. Meanwhile, my grandma probably tried to quit 20 times, but the withdrawal was so bad she was never able to quit.

Debian testing is ok for newer hardware, if you’re more technically inclined.

People are afraid of what they do not understand. This still holds true here.

And fear leads to hate.

Just remember that Charlie Chaplin literally had the same facial hair 😉

True, I didn’t structure my sentence correctly.

It gets to compete with Java and Python because it’s also JIT is what I meant to say.

Absolutely, it’s just one aspect of it, benchmarks are always narrow in scope. Some languages may be good at some things and worse at others.

Oh PHP is hands down one of the slowest languages out there. It’s just convenient because it’s easy to host, but it’s awful to use and it’s really slow.

Here, have a chart:

In this chart, where the benchmark is calculating digits of π, Java is faster than JS, but there are cases where it’s the opposite.

Node.js is really not a bad backend language, since it’s JIT, it’s actually faster than Python and Java in most cases.

Rust will definitely have the advantage of being a compiled language though.

Source: I write both Java and TS backend code, have done benchmarks.

And those same people will often also refuse to pay for services.

It’s a pay or become the product world out there, site hosting ain’t free.

Correct, this two-sided discourse is due to a massive lack of communication on Mozilla’s part, leaving room for speculation.
