Isn't Node a JavaScript framework for webservers?
- nazka 13y agoNo, it's a platform (raw server).
- coldtea 13y agoWell, it's mostly THE way to use Javascript (or ECMAScript if you wish), the language, on the command line. As such, I consider it as much a platform as it also is a version of the Javascript language for the backend. Languages ARE platforms anyway -- we never care just about their core syntax and semantics but also for all the libs stuff they come with. So Python includes batteries, and Java includes the kitchen sync.
