Finally, it's official: Node is the new PHP.

- captainmuon 13y agoWe'll probably be complaining about the horrible legacy Node.js applications created by scores of mediocre JS developers in a few years, like we do with PHP now. The classic discourse is: "PHP is not a bad language, it was just designed with one specific purpose in mind and then grew organically. Of course there is some ballast now... Oh well, OK it is a bad language. But the real problem is that it's too easy - everybody thinks they are an elite developer because they can code a bit PHP." VB -> PHP -> JS ?

- camus2 13y agoPHP is robust enough to create webpages and scripts, that's what it was designed for. I think nobody is claiming "they are an elite developer because they can code a bit PHP" , that's what you said. It would be far more interesting to talk about what you use and how , rather than bashing PHP.
- camus2 13y agoNot likely. NodeJS is not RAD enough for web apps like blogs or ecommerce sites.
