Atwood's Law: The JavaScript Singularity

Jeff Atwood's infamous prophecy that haunts backend developers' nightmares. What started as a joke in 2007 has become our reality - Electron apps, Node.js servers, and even freaking desktop operating systems running JavaScript. The language that was cobbled together in 10 days has somehow consumed everything in its path like some kind of unstoppable syntax blob. Resistance is futile. Your precious C++ application? Rewritten in JS. Your Java backend? Now it's Express. Your sanity? Long gone.
