"With Node you can literally share your code between the front and back of a system."
Having to deal with a poorly-designed legacy weakly-typed scripting language not just on client (where you have no choice) but on server as well? Why be masochistic?
- crdoconnor 12y agoIt makes sense if your app flat out requires a lot of javascript on the client side. I find that javascript is most often an overused crutch on the client side, though. It's used more for premature optimization and making your website look shinier than it is anything really very useful. Nonetheless, some webapps really do require a lot of it.

Well, you can take a different look: spend some time thinking why does your app requires a lot of JavaScript, and is it really necessary. Even if the answer is still "yes" that may be a good exercise.
