> I'm okay with it on the server

I used to be pretty religious about it NOT being on the server, but nowadays I just say to myself: Who am I to say JavaScript can't be used on the server?

What about PHP on the client side? Why is suddenly Python a server-side language when it's a scripting language better suited for data analysis and manipulation? WASM? Is not ASM an applications language instead?

This line of thinking broke me of these thought-limiting shackles, and now I think: If there's a toolchain to make it run on your target (client side browser, server side app, at your OS as a service script, embedded devices, whatever), then go for it.
