Older node version still needed?

howdy yall, working on some documentation for the wasp project we just got running as a demo. In the getting started docs it says we should use a specific older version of node, but that results in me having to constantly switch node versions when needing to use specific non-wasp commands. Wondering if this is still needed or if it should be fine to use most up to date node

@Cdf50 With Wasp 0.12 the Node.js requirements were updated 🙂 You can now use Node.js 18+ In the current docs we only require >= 18, anything above 18 is fine: https://wasp-lang.dev/docs/quick-start#requirements

@miho I wonder if we should ptentially drop the part about nvm from our docs. Before it was important, but now it isn't really, as they can use any of the modern node versions.

That's true 👍 Now that section is some useful advice, but not really bringing that much value and taking up space

And possibly even distracting! I will create an issue for this quickly https://github.com/wasp-lang/wasp/issues/1900
