I'm starting to agree
I have been doing more JavaScript programming over the last few years that I would ever have imagined. Node JS and React have really changed the way I think about programming. I can honestly say I would prefer to create a web application with NodeJS, SailsJS, EJS, and React over Java, Spring, and JSP. Know there are other options and variations on these. But, the JavaScript based stacks is just more enjoyable, and more importantly quicker for me. Realizing and acclimating to this new reality is an on going process.
I was just sent these two articles today. I should have already been aware of. If you haven't read them yet, give them some attention, there are some interesting ideas to mull over.
