“10x faster package installs, native TypeScript, and built-in test runner. It's replacing Node.js in my new projects.”
“The free tier is incredibly generous. Multimodal capabilities and grounding with Google Search are unique advantages.”
“Speed is real and measurable. Node.js compatibility is good enough for most projects. The future of JS runtimes.”
“Google's track record of killing products is concerning, but the Gemini API is too useful to ignore.”
