In 2007, Rails was the hot new fad like Node.js became a decade later. Now it’s the boring legacy app, like Java was in 2007 and Node.js will be around 2020. Looking back, all this effort now seems like mostly-pointless reinvention.
- joshmn 8y agoYou have to remember how people were writing web apps in 2007 in order for this to be contextually correct.
- krallja 8y agoYeah, I guess I should have written about Perl or PHP rather than Java. Spaghetti code is no fun, but you can still write that same style today in .erb files.
- andrewmcwatters 8y agoI'd like to say that Node.js has staying power mostly because of JavaScript, but I'm seeing Go pop up here and there.
