-1. __Development__: native Node.js [add-ons][node-add-ons] require significantly more upfront development costs compared to porting implementations to JavaScript. Creating a native [add-on][node-add-ons] entails more than writing a simple wrapper around an existing C/C++ library; the process involves additional tooling, testing, and development procedures, all requiring time and effort. These costs are acutely apparent during iteration cycles targeting multiple platforms. In comparison, as a higher-level language, JavaScript facilitates faster development, has built-in portability, and has minimized performance costs.
