In fact, what would be a use case of Node.js? I know it is a rather interesting tech but other than that what do you/would you use Node.js for?

- thenduks 16y agoBeing 'interesting tech' is a pretty good reason to experiment/learn something in my book. But besides that: - You get to write JavaScript on your back-end and your front-end. - It's evented (like Twisted, EventMachine, etc) which has proven popular/robust/fast recently (think FriendFeed). - It handles insane amounts of requests/second (due to non-blocking IO and V8 awesomeness among other things). - Did I mention you get to write more JavaScript? :) - It makes it pretty easy to implement servers for other protocols than just straight vanilla http -- for example WebSockets implementations and so on.
