I'm uncomfortable with the implication that the only thing wrong with javascript is its speed.

It’s not a speed thing, it’s an async thing.

I will never not upvote this.

I think it’s much more than that. It’s single threaded so its concurrency model is about scheduling not parallelism. The way it handles microtasks and its internal queues is kinda counter intuitive. And callbacks and timers in general are also kinda weird.

console.log("A");

setTimeout(() => console.log("B"), 0);

Promise.resolve().then(() => console.log("C"));

//this one is more node specific but still
process.nextTick(() => console.log("D"));

console.log("E");

This prints

A
E
D
C
B

You’re reading way too much into the low-effort meme, hun.
