If only people stopped writing this stuff in javascript.
- mbreedlove 11y agoI agree. It seems like a maintainability issue. I can't imagine anyone familiar enough with DNS to contribute has experience working with Node. Maybe I'm wrong...
- jsjohnst 11y agoWhile I agree with the "why!? Node" sentiment of parent, you'd be wrong with this extension. Myself as well as a few friends (who have extensive history with DNS at both a sysadmin and developer level) disprove the theory that there's no overlap in the two skill sets.
- toolz 11y agoI would never contribute to a JS project, but it is the most used language in the world. Which language would you expect to have more overlap than the most used language in the world?
- bluejekyll 11y agoIt is NOT the most used: http://www.tiobe.com/tiobe_index http://www.tiobe.com/tiobe_index Java is number one, still. Like six years running at least. JavaScript is somewhere between 4-8 depending on the survey you look at.
- jsjohnst 11y agoAt least it's not written in Coffeescript and then further insulting you by calling it a JavaScript project despite being written in Coffeescript. I've been foolish enough to have been quoted as saying "you can use JavaScript anywhere!" in the past (admittedly at the time, I was working on an embedded platform for TVs where apps were written in JS). Sadly it seems not everyone knows, just because you can doesn't mean you should.
- william20111 11y agoyes. please stop the endless javascripting of the world..
- jamesdwilson 11y agolike it or not, js is the programming language that runs on the most devices in the world.
- bluejekyll 11y agoWhile, I know this is flamebate: This statement is factually incorrect. C is the most common higher level language across all platforms, especially when you include embedded devices. (I'm not considering Assembly as a higher level language)
- jamesdwilson 11y agomm good point. i stand corrected.
