There's really no reason to use hyperbole to make your point. And besides, Node and Java aren't very different in their release policies. Node follows a standard LTS structure where every other release is an LTS, and Java follows a standard LTS structure where every third release is an LTS. If anything, that means more versions of Node are supported for longer without backwards incompatible changes.
- rockwotj 4y agoThe comment isn't about the language but the ecosystem, which yes it's hyperbole, but seems to generally hold true. The node ecosystem has a ton of churn
- avarun 4y agoNo, the comment is clearly about the language. The literal context of the submission is a new API being added to Java, and the GP is discussing how they prefer the slow pace of evolution of Java to Node's supposed breakneck pace of breaking changes. Unfortunately, they're just making up things about Node, thus my comment explaining how they're incorrect.
