This is all bullshit.
There is one reason Node is popular: it's JavaScript (extremely popular) on a server and mostly works with little effort (unlike most similar runtimes).
- mackwic 13y agoJavascript is extremely popular ? Since when ? Oh, wait, since node.js. (Even if node is not the only cause of the JS popularity)
- lucian1900 13y agoNo, since browsers.

- lnanek2 13y agoPerformance is a big deal too. If you try to start a VC backed startup with Rails nowadays everyone will tell you to stop, you are just going to have to rewrite it in something performant anyway if anything happens, so to just start in NodeJS and save time. Big headline cases like LinkedIn having to move over is in everyone's heads.
- lucian1900 13y agoYou could write it in Ruby without Rails and it'd be about the same.
