With the up-most respect, and we&#x27;ve all been there, but I would submit that maybe you just didn&#x27;t write your Node code very well? Written properly, async code shouldn&#x27;t be hard to understand. And there are tons of ways to spin up a new process or worker to execute a task without blocking the event loop of the main app. I mean, I could go away and use my limited experience to write a small project in Python to do a specific task ... but if it turned out to have deficiencies I wouldn&#x27;t blame Python, rather my limited experience. Next time you need something written in Node, why not hire a experienced Node dev? And what is this recommendation to do simple tasks? I never heard that :)
