problem is: you cannot use it for both server and client. if this were true you would've been right. with node.js you still need to be aware if you're coding client or serverside for some constructs.
- jrockway 16y agoNot really a problem; clients and servers always use different APIs in other languages. JavaScript is no difference. The advantage is that you get to use the same tools for client-side development and server-side development. Testing tools, interactive development tools, editor tools, etc. When you don't have to build your toolchain twice, you can make your toolchain twice as good. In theory. Javascript needs namespaces and modules before it will be useful for real work.
