Too bad a java code sample would've exceeded the character limit of linkedin.. I kid, I kid. As someone whose done a lot of node development in the past year I feel like I have a good grasp on the environment, but absolutely none of Java-based web development. Would anyone developing a REST API in Java (or even some of its derivatives) care to chime in? What kind of productivity are you getting, what are the hurdles, and what's the community like? I think Node is great, but I also feel like a large number of developers will avoid potentially better solutions due to a certain amount of fanboyism.
