If something is called A vs B I was would hope to see a list of how A is better than B. The only mention of NodeJS is pretty derogatory - it detracts from the promotion of RingoJS (which I found interesting)
- gmosx 16y agoThe point of the article is to bring Ringo in the spotlight. I strongly believe that the developers are doing a great job and the seamless access to Java libraries is the great selling point. If the article generates some (well deserved) attention for Ringo, it will be a success (even if some people do not agree with the wording)
- fictorial 16y agoThis sounds like something Marak would say.
- monos 16y agowhy downvotes? he - again - clearly states his intentions. what's wrong with that.
- dagw 16y agoI guess some times controversy can be helpful. The article did generate discussion on HN. And this discussion led to me taking a look at Ringo (which I hadn't heard of) to find out what the fuss what about. And now I'm considering trying out Ringo for a project I've been thinking about for a while. So, I guess, mission accomplished .

- voodootikigod 16y agoEver consider just submitting a talk about RingoJS to "cool marketing" AKA JSConf? We are a pretty open and "underdog-rooting" group. I might know someone up in the decision committee...
- monos 16y agoclearly points out several advantages, so i think it qualifies as comparison. * commonjs conformant * mature & stable * java access * ... i agree: dislike of nodejs shines through, but that was clear after the first paragraph. hard to talk about ssjs without mentioning node, nowadays.
