And we will absolutely, positively never know.

But as soon as you do want to customize it, you’re stuck learning one of the most esoteric languages that wasn’t meant as a joke.

Fair, I haven’t used Rust so I don’t really have an opinion on it.

I’ve read different defenses for JavaScript for cases like this, which usually runs somewhere from you shouldn’t be doing that anyway all the way up to if you just understood the language better you’d know why. While I agree with both of those points strongly as general principles, JavaScript also violates the principle of least surprise enough to make it concerning.

For what it’s worth, I do like JavaScript. I really don’t think that there is any perfect programming language.

You can’t prove that!

Plus all that stuff Einstein went on about, curved space time and stuff.

I think I agree with you both. I’m not a Node developer; could you keep your SQL objects/components in a separate file so that they don’t clutter up other logic?
