I think node is cool, and definitely has its place. I think it's a bit premature when people start talking about it being a full stack replacement. I certainly believe under some circumstances node really shines, but you need to pick your battles using the right tool for the right job. Stay educated and understand why something works to solve a particular problem well.
- gmuller 15y agoWhoa, who said anything about full stack replacement. I use a variety of stacks, I was simply pointing out that since I'm using Javascript all over the place anyway, I might start using it on the server side as well. Things I use Ruby for generally amount to one-off jobs or shell-scripts. I constantly have to remind myself of the syntax, since all I use all day long are variants of C syntax(C#, java, javascript). It'll take me 10 minutes to whip up what would take me 30 in ruby, simply because I don't use ruby often enough to internalize the syntax. node provides me with a way to write the same shell scripts in javascript.
