The fact that Node.js, Javascript on the server, is gaining so much popularity in the developer community means that it has benefits beyond its universality in the browser.
The fact that Node.js is becoming popular is simply a symptom of having a ridiculously large ecosystem of developers, and not much else.
- mwcampbell 13y agoA ridiculously large ecosystem of developers is a huge feature that we ignore at our peril. I think a mature developer should overlook aesthetic quibbles with a language, framework, or any other tool, and make decisions based solely on what's most practical.
- mbesto 13y agowe ignore at our peril. Yup, developers do. But clients and users don't. Just make it work!
