Yeah, I think that's not quite right. I think the main selling point of Node has always been that it's Javascript and thus you can use the same language, and people, to do both frontend and backend development. Node is not fast and it's not trying to compete with compiled language in that regard.
- blandflakes 6y agoFWIW I have _heard_ the pitch that node.js is fast, here on HN and elsewhere, but most times it's fast compared to like... Ruby. Which is fine, but that's not the only competition in town for node.js.
