How is JavaScript accessible? Because of websites like the linked article, which covers the basics, that lets you build things? Because Udemy, codeacademy and all the others will teach you how to google program using it?
Maybe you’re right, but this page doesn’t actually teach you databases, and most of those courses don’t actually teach you programming.
At least not efficiently.
I have worked with JS for a long time, and I don’t hate it, but it’s such a terrible language and environment that the most popular part of it is literally a strict syntactical superset of of it.
I don’t particularly like Typescript by the way, and I don’t think it’s really that useful, but you can’t deny that most people do.
I think 95% of all projects would be better of using something that wasn’t JavaScript for the whole stack, and I think that’s the reason so few things are build on node. I like graphql as much as you do, I also think Prisma is okish, but I’d rather use Django, Flask, Java Spring it .Net Core because they are so much more efficient in the long term.
Of course on the client side, all the innovations and all the talent lies with JS, and there is some advantages for using JS for your whole stack. Those advantages end at the DB though, at least in my opinion.
This isn’t a problem, you can use Prisma for Postgres, and there are decent drivers for mssql, but I’d never advise people to use nosql unless they had a very specific reason for doing so, and I can’t think of one.
