I. Nx Is Not a JavaScript Tool: It Is a Work Orchestrator

Nx is often presented — and perceived — as a JavaScript tool.
“A thing for Angular,” or at best “a monorepo runner for Node.”

That perception is understandable…
but fundamentally incorrect.

Nx is not a JS tool.
Nx is a work orchestrator.

And that is precisely why it appears almost naturally as soon as a repository becomes polyglot.
