I use node for everything now myself for a number of reasons. The "problem" with node is that its still very young. And its a different programming model then people are used to. So its similiar to the whole RDBMS/document store argument. You use what works for your applicaiton.
The thing that annoys me personally is that they make it seems like there something wrong with node. And there isnt at all.
- andybak 15y agoDoes it provide any of the functionality that you get with a Django/Rails style framework? Or is it at a lower level?
- triathlete 15y agoYes of course via express.js and railway and several other frameworks. Again node itself is just a set of libraries on top of of v8. So its not a proper comparison. Personally i use express.js and roll my own framework essentially because i prefer to work that way.
- andypants 15y agoThere's are some web frameworks that are aspiring towards Django/Rails-style, but none that have a similar ecosystem of plugins and developers yet. The most popular web framework, express.js, is a bit more lower level, and is similar to Werkzeug from Python or Sinatra from Ruby.
