Perfect timing to see this on HN. I was thinking about playing with either Hadoop or Node.js tonight (both for the first time), I guess this post made up my mind. It's installing now. This is exciting to work with, and a lot different for me being a long time C# developer moving to the Linux world.

  Be curious to hear what you think of node after toying with it a bit.

    Hello World. It worked :) In general, I love JavaScript so I don't see why I wouldn't like Node. I'll have to write a real program to truly have an opinion. What's the best way to start and keep Node running?

        I was inspired by forever, so I also created my own management tool: https://github.com/luxdelux/restarter https://github.com/luxdelux/restarter

        I've also used fugue before: https://github.com/pgte/fugue https://github.com/pgte/fugue It launches a master process which forks and manages child worker processes and talks to them over a socket.

  C# developer here too. It appears most developers never learn the more advanced bits about javascript. With node.js you really benefit from knowing javascript well. One thing that struck me was how easy it was to identify repeating patterns in my code and refactor them, much more easily than in C#. Good luck, hope you'll have as fun as I have with node!

Wow. I just finished compiling v0.4.0

  I did too, yesterday! Can't be happier to see progress on node.js though :)

They are going very fast, just changed out for a module that is a fork of a fork of a module made for .2 line that keeps getting obsoleted with every point release
