That's why we use JavaScript on the front end, JavaScript on the back end, and you can streamline it even more by using JavaScript for the db layer too. After all, if you have too much data to be reasonably parsed in a single .json file, you are probably just architecting wrong.

Ngl changing paradigms can have the problems do a 180.

I hate leetcode but it's surprisingly fun to code certain questions in prolog when final outcome with error checking is like 15 lines.

The language is as important as architecture and stuff.

Pick the right language for the right task.

Performance? Don't use python.

Everything else? Use python because everyone does.

The programming language promotes a thinking model and the ecosystem defines a modus operandi.
Of course they matter.
