I think this article expresses my doubts pretty well. Other than everyone being excited about a cool new technology, I don't understand why anyone would create their startup using node unless they have massive amounts of server calls per user or they already have a very large user base. With a more mature framework like django/apache you can build sites so much faster and pain free. Am I missing anything?
- Vitaly 15y agothere is no much sense indeed to use node right now as a complete backend solution. There are much better ways to push out html and do db queries ;) This being said, there are lots of use cases where node shines. In short - anything related to push or massive number of connections. So if you are building a chat server it doesn't make much sense to write it in rails or django as your server will die as soon as it gets even slightly popular; and fixing it at that stage will not be tuning this or that. you will have to rewrite it. probably in node.js ;)
- olegp 15y agoComing from a RingoJS background, I'm trying to address the first use case you mention with http://olegp.github.com/common-node/ http://olegp.github.com/common-node/ - would really appreciated any feedback or comments you may have.
