For someone calling me petty and disingenuous, you sure are performing a lot of ad hominem attacks.
Here is what you said: "thirsteh's cynicism is misplaced. node.js is effectively predicated on asynchronous implementations, and you have to work hard to do otherwise. The end result tends to be very efficient implementations that can serve large numbers with ease."
This is what I responded to. Your statements are simply not true. And no, I wasn't the one who brought up node.js either.
My gripe with node.js is that it claims to be something much greater than it is, and people gobble it up. If you want to write Javascript, sure, it's a great tool. Just don't try to sell it as the only, or even a good way to write fast applications. That is what is disingenuous.
- corresation 13y agoThat's a funny claim for you to make considering your continued attempts to portray my statement as coming from ignorance (which you've done yet again). Actually, friend, my daily professional language is go, thought that has zero relevance here given that this discussion was .NET, and then apparently .NET relative to nodejs. Your quote comically excludes the preceding paragraph about .NET, and the following sentences specifically contrasting .NET with nodejs. Instead you continue this transparent charade of pretending that I said something that I didn't. This boring side discussion is done. You have said absolutely nothing of value, but should feel relieved that you took a irrelevant shot at nodejs for no particular reason.

I do, however I fear it will do very little to stem the tide of frontend developers discovering the awesome powers of asynchronous callbacks in Node.js, and continuing to repeat the meme that it is the best way/a good way to write fast applications. Every other thread on Hacker News is about Node.js these days.
