The Fall of the House of Node (2016)
- bradstewart 10y agoI disagree with pretty much all of this. Maybe Node isn't a great choice for huge enterprise applications, but there's plenty of other software out there. This part is particularly irritating: The only reason people cite for using JS is that it saves them the effort of learning another language. Wow, how lazy can you be?! I'm currently responsible for all of the software for a fairly dynamic (WebSocket driven) web app, a Linux-based embedded system, and the backends tying it all together. Being able to write it all in JavaScript has been a massive time saver. I know a handful of languages, but jumping from JavaScript to Ruby to Go every day (even multiple times a day) just kills my productivity.
