"Poorly-written JavaScript is not suitable for large web apps".
- TazeTSchnitzel 14y agoFunnily enough, that also applies to: ActionScript, Dart, Java, PHP, node.js, Ruby, Go... ;)
- jsnk 14y agonode.js is written in JavaScript.
- TazeTSchnitzel 14y agoI am aware of that, but I personally use JavaScript to mean the browser language, and all the browser's features (DOM, WebSocket, etc.), but node.js to mean JS in the node.js environment. Same core language, but different environments, so not the same in practise.

- base698 14y agoLarge parts are written in C++ :)
- GnarlinBrando 14y agoI'm pretty sure that very little of it is actually in js. It's more appropriate to say that you use javascript to script the node environment/runtime.
- daba 14y agoActually a pretty decent part is in JS since most of the standard libraries are purely written in JS. Github claims that nearly 70% of the node repository is in JavaScript.
- lmm 14y agoNot true. I've seen some very successful large webapps in poorly-written Java.
- pnayak 14y agoyeah agree to this :) poorly structured and architected code written in any language will not scale..
