I love Node for many things, but I agree with this sentiment.
At work, every time we undertake a project in Node, it just doesn't work at scale, and it has to get re-implemented in Erlang.
A lot of this is for personnel reasons. To all of us Node is a neat new toy, where a few engineers are Erlang wizards. If Node crashes we don't have any experience debugging it. If it locks up there's little intuition why.
Can people point to examples of large production Node deployments?

- weixiyen 15y agoIt's doing what normally Erlang would have been used for, which answers the original question. It's a node.js deployment, and very early version one at that. I'm not really sure what your point is.
