It’s not just Java, it’s any programmer with proficiency in any other language, including those that are quite proficient at JavaScript. The sentiment after our team wrapped up a recent Node project for a client was basically “the internet keeps lying about the maturity of the node ecosystem”. That was with the latest TypeScript and an architect who was very good.
The event loop model that Node uses is easily replicated in other programming languages. It’s not a sensible default though, blocking code is better for most domains.
