Yeah, I agree that I got a bit worked up in my response and my language was a bit stronger than it needed to be. I guess it was driven a bit by: a) nodejs is resulting in a ton of interesting projects. whether it is the best design decision to use nodejs in these projects instead of something else is another question. the creativity nodejs has helped spark is awesome in itself. b) if the OP was referring to creating battle-tested server applications, he/she should have made that clearer. yes nodejs is immature and crashes left and right. c) OP titles like this one (i.e. generalized statement the OP knows to not be true) do not foster productive discourse and community
