For years Node needed different APIs than the browser. That gap is shrinking: fetch, Web Streams and other web standards are now first-class in Node.
The same language on both ends
When server and client share the same primitives, you can move logic without rewriting it, and there is less mental switching. Less glue code, more portability.
Our take
Standardisation is boring news and therefore good news. Code that leans on web standards ages more slowly — exactly what you want for something built to last years.
