Um, JavaScript is cool and all and you can use it in a lot of places, but for things beyond nontrivial apps, Node.js is going to be hard to scale to larger team

Um, JavaScript is cool and all and you can use it in a lot of places, but for things beyond nontrivial apps, Node.js is going to be hard to scale to larger teams. Maybe that is a good thing. Maybe having a bunch of smaller services talking to each other is the way to go, but so far node hasn't solved the inherent callback soup problem.
- crazygringo 14y agoI worked on a Node-backed website with a team for a year, and we had no problem with callback soup. However, we did use IcedCoffeeScript which made dealing with callbacks a lot easier. But, scalability-wise, programming in Node was no different from any other language. What do you think makes it hard to scale?
