Can you change your habits?

So how about just saying that?

It's not. A person doesn't have to go all in on Sapir–Whorf to recognize that this is fraught with peril.

The original article that you fall back on for support doesn't even agree with you; the argument that the author makes (explicitly, even) is that this actually is a JS-and-not-just-NodeJS problem.

Nor do your earlier remarks agree; you're ignoring now the pushback on your earlier remarks that escape is essentially/almost "impossible". Feels like you're going for a motte-and-bailey here (a type of bait-and-switch argument; see <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motte-and-bailey_fallacy>).
