I wonder if Node.js will follow the same fate...get a nice dose of reality check.
It is mistakenly evangelized as also being faster, leaner, scalable, more concurrent than anything out there. Some clients would pay extra to redo CRUD using Node.js because it's "Asynchronous and We wanna Pay For Speed and Scalability".

- general_failure 12y agoMy understanding is that people pick node.js because of simplicity and not for speed.
- notastartup 12y agoWow. That's interesting, I really did not find asynchronous programming easy, with basic things like hooking up to database requiring you to go deeper into a chain of callbacks, forcing you to rely on duct tape solutions like futures or whatever they use now to work around the limits of Javascript, or having to write stuff in Coffeescript. But some devs swear by it, I just fail to see what the advantages are.
