Hello Caranatar

I'm getting "failed to connect to the server: hostname does not verify: 
x509: certificate is valid for celulinde, not caranatar.xyz"

Does your certificate match your domain?

No its not absurd, JS is just another programming language with very 
widespread tooling. I think mostly the objections seem to be how using 
it for mobile code deployment is now a web browser client expectation so 
the number of client engines is dwindling to a small handful. And what 
is the real benefit - often not adding much actual value in many places, 
beyond marketing fluff and burning CPU cycles.

But on the server, seems perfectly fine for me, why not build on top of 
the widespread tooling that exists?
