At first I thought this was Ruby based since it was installed via gem, but at the footer it says it is built using Node.js. This is a fine example of the power of Node.js as well as the versatility.
On a side note, this reminds me that isaacs (creator of npm) has pushed npm to be for development and not for deploying to end users. Hence using gem instead of npm.
- senex 15y agoWe're planning to make more "normal" installation scenarios if we see good interest. Using gem was a quick way for us to get the idea out.
- chapel 15y agoI like the idea, and had you not have used Node.js I was going to spend a few hours and create a clone using Node.js since it would be that easy. Mind you not that easy if I were to match your level of service and the site. Hope it has a lot of success.
- PanosJee 15y agoNode is a network library and you can easily create a TCP server. That s all. On the other hand ruby is great for writing scripts and nice DSLs so the whole concept is implemented very nicely.
- chapel 15y agoNode.js is more than a network library, but you are right it is easy to create a TCP server. I have created many scripts using Node.js and I am not the only one.
