Meh. Jamming JS into more places it has no right to be. I’m sure this’ll go well.

  Honestly at this point, why does “please stop shoving JS into everything, you’re fucking it all up” need to be even said? That this is even mildly controversial (or in your case, flaggable) is a sign of how far we’ve sunk.

    Because anybody could say that about any programming language. Your favorite programming language could be the most hated language by any number of people. If the code can run in a system it can be useful to somebody who is more effective in a given language.

      I think you’d have a hard time finding a more controversial language than nodejs. And I personally think nodejs does a pretty poor job on less resource constrained systems, hence my disbelief that this is a good idea.

        I've heard similar rage fits about Ruby and Python and yet people get plenty of work done with either one. Hell I'm sure you could hear the same damn thing about Java, but someone somewhere will find a way to shove the JVM into embedded devices too.

    It doesn't need to be said. That's the point. Could you please stop saying it now?

      Only once people stop trying to install it onto toasters.

        It's a bit sad that you have to get in the last word when disparaging Node.js along with your "DAE hate node lol"-style posts. Remembering your contributions to the "Cycling is key to healthier cities" submission, you are clearly capable of decent discussion. But let's try to exercise some maturity across all topics.

        I really think node is toxic and ought to be contained as best as possible, if not just cleansed with Fire. There’s not a lot I can add that hasn’t already been said other than an exasperated “Jesus Christ, not this shit again”. You don’t have to like my opinion, but I genuinely have had enough of the nodejs hype.
