The JavaScript ecosystem is 'hopelessly fragmented'... so here is another runtime: Deno

Dahl and Belder claimed the server-side JavaScript ecosystem (which is dominated by Node.js) is "hopelessly fragmented, deeply tied to bad infrastructure, and irrevocably ruled by committees without the incentive to innovate." Server-side JavaScript has not kept pace with the browser platform, they said.
Michael Dawson, Node.js lead for Red Hat and IBM and a member of the Technical Steering Committee, told us in October: "All projects are going to end up with some legacy, it's the price of success that you can't go back and just change all those things." As you would expect, though, Dawson takes the line that Node should be improved rather than replaced.
It's all just a useless pile of junk; unless you want to have code from random people somewhere on this planet to be included in your business critical projects.
