I think the main issue with Node.js is that it is still being labeled as "unstable", that implies several
things:
- At any time, the core team can drop the support of the 0.x versions
- NPM is still bugguy compared to gem or pip
- The "vision" is something that might change radically. (c.f. the recent issues with some core collaborator)
- ilaksh 12y agoActually that is something that confuses people unnecessarily. There have been stable releases for a long time. The vision absolutely is not going to change, and as far as I know the issues with the core contributor were quite a long long time ago. Anyway every project has issues with people. But at this point, Node is probably right up there actually if you were to make a list of projects that had the least likelihood ever of being impacted by politics. Just because there is such a huge enthusiastic community, great package manager and culture of modular development, etc.
