I don't think node.js is a replacement for fully-fledged framework. Rather, i believe, it's a backend for high-performance parts like real-time streaming API or something. Although the setup is neat, and obvious, I believe it's way worse to develop at this stack.
- travisglines 16y agoI keep hearing this and am curious: Why don't you think node.js is a fit for a fully fledged dynamic website? What things is it missing? I know its been used as a high performance tool historically but whats holding it back from becoming more?
- eaxitect 16y agoactually, I agree with you, but for now, node.js has to has more features like templating, UI flow, etc. injected into the way node.js handle requests. I've asked the same question for Sinatra earlier today, and got my answers.
- travisglines 16y agoThis is what the add on modules do such as jade. Check out jade-lang.com ... basically why I wrote the blog post was to show that with the use of a libraries node can compete with the best web frameworks.
- Charuru 16y ago3 months ago I would agree. But just recently many things have come together for node.js. uglify.js, mongoose, and stylus, just to name a few.
