Of course you do. Cause you don't know JavaScript and you don't know NodeJS.

If you had, you would know that NodeJS has expanded the realm of JavaScript to server-side applications as well. There are countless modules that allow you to write any type of application using JS. If you knew that, you would compare the server-side usage of JS to the server-side usage of Java. But you can't, cause you don't know JS and you don't know NodeJS.

Not at all. What is fundamentally flawed is that you assume that JavaScript cannot be used as a replacement of Java although you totally ignore the potential of that language and all the tools that would close the gap between Java and JavaScript.

If you don't know JavaScript, do not express any opinion about it's relationship to Java. It's only logical.
