> but Node also has the advantage of being isomorphic. It's hard to beat JS when it's the browser language This has repeated often but so far I haven't found a really convincing argument. All my friends, who know C, C++, C#, Java (and other languages) had no problem in picking up Javascript/ES7 for programming the browser using whatever you need. I think this argument was exciting for the front-end developers who wanted to try doing things on the server but couldn't be bothered into learning a new language. So now with Node.js they are happy and satisfied, until they realize that the problem is not the language; the problem is that server programming is a different matter altogether, no matter what the language is.
