Often the worth of a language comes from its ecosystem. Node.js for now has perhaps the biggest ecosystem in history of computer languages and since Javascript is supported natively by browsers, well it makes the number of developers knowing Javascript quite substantial. It's no worse than Python, Perl or others.
- int_19h 5y agoI would argue that much of the Node ecosystem suffers from the same flaw as "millions of apps" advertised by Apple and Google on their mobile platform: most of it is useless one-liners, or abandonware. Now, when you filter it all out, it's still not any worse than Python etc - but it's not any better, either.
