There's no good reason to use Nodejs

There's probably a language skill experience aspect that the author neglects.

Tiobe puts JavaScript at #7 and Rust on #40.

Though C++ is #3 I'd have a hard time believing there's a mass of professional C++ programmers building web applications. I also wonder if there is a maturity difference between the C++ pool of talent and JavaScript pool.

Nodejs is oriented toward the web and probably more quickly accessible to new developers than C++.
