I'm wondering if Javascript will start being heavily used server-side? Would it be wise to start learning JS and how to use Node.js or is it absolutely not suitable for production use?
- Charuru 16y agoYou should absolutely start learning it. node.js already has a large amount of traction and is being used in production in numerous places: http://wiki.github.com/ry/node/ http://wiki.github.com/ry/node/
- jorangreef 16y agoRegardless of the popularity of Javascript on the server-side, if you're writing a web-based application, then your architecture will benefit from: 1. Shared code between client and server. 2. Specialization in one language. V8 and Node are at least a very good combination for server-side Javascript. Re: "is it absolutely not suitable for production use?" Node in alpha state is already more production ready than many "production ready" tools.
