Any embedded app that can be written in JavaScript will be written in JavaScript [video]

Did not watch the video, but the title immediately reminded me of an incident at a past job.

Was a devops engineer, whole app team (who only ever wrote nodejs) got fed up with pacemaker/corosync. "we are going to write our own" they said, and proceeded to try to whip out nodejs for it, i laughed and laughed, and then told them fuck no, dont do it.

When all you know is a hammer...
