I'm not talking about the developers. I'm sure they're wonderful people. I'm talking about the organizations. I don't believe node has been as popular for backends in the last 15 years, especially at enterprise companies, as Java and .Net have been.
- endisneigh 3y agoGiven that node is barely 15 years old that's not surprising.
- dventimihasura 3y agoWait...is it "almost 15 years" or "only 15 years"? Is node old and established or is it still the plucky upstart?
- xboxnolifes 3y agoWhichever one convinces you to agree with the opinion I hold.
- solumunus 3y agoSo what? In all comments you seem hell bent on making a point but it’s not clear what the point is. JS backends are popular, and this is a GraphQL solution for them. The fact that JS backends are less common in enterprise companies seems completely irrelevant.
- dventimihasura 3y agoDo you want to meet people where they are and help them with solutions given their constraints? Or, do you want to offer solutions using your preferred tools? There are no wrong answers, as far as I'm concerned. I'm just curious which you would prefer.
- true_religion 3y agoIf it’s closed source and for profit? Definitely meet people where they are. If it’s open source, and only for self gratification then I’d use my preferred tools so I can convert more people into using my preferred tools and thus get a broader better community.
