"Can Rails compete with Node.js?"
For the perplexed: Node isn't a web framework.
- FooBarWidget 14y agoIt isn't, but in the context of the article I was talking about competing on the ability to support certain I/O use cases, not comparing features.
- batista 14y ago>For the perplexed: Node isn't a web framework. For the perplexed: it doesn't matter. Take it to mean "Node+whatever" vs Rails. Or even "raw Node + totally custom js framework on top" vs Rails.
- mikeryan 14y agoIt took about 2 weeks of working with Node and you quickly realize where its place is your stack, and its very much not the same thing I use Rails for. It's also a pretty distinct line that is pretty easy to determine. I also find any Node/Rails comparison's pretty silly honestly, they're very different tools, and though you can do the same thing with each, I wouldn't.
