Here's the post by Ry that was supposedly deleted: http://tinyclouds.org/rant.html http://tinyclouds.org/rant.html The point I took away from the post is that all abstractions carry a cost, no matter how elegant. Not "Ryan Dahl hates Node.js". But sure. Seems the author is intent on complaining and that's cool with me, but if you're doing Node then yeah don't let people like this get you down. Node's fast, Node's flexible and has so many users that virtually any abstraction you like is available through npm. Callbacks are part of core because it's the lowest common abstraction for Async. Node is not Python. Tired devs can complain all they like, but that doesn't make them right.

>Tired devs can complain all they like, but that doesn't make them right. But don't you think this is the very reason why we need to worry about these issues. Us developers are tired, its not right, this is something we all love doing, and I want more people to love this industry and we cant afford to throw simplicity in the garbage, we need to spend some effort in to making things easier for the people who will come after us.

  If you're gonna fall of the cat-v bait and try to "make things right" then you pretty much can't use any language except minimal C or Go. Their page on Java (what people in this thread propose) is way longer.
