Ok.
> largest selling point of the entire stack - develop once, run everywhere
Rather than being the largest selling point, this is talked about by virtually nobody who actually works with Node.
Easy handling of concurrent I/O is the largest selling point.
See http://nodejs.org/ http://nodejs.org/ : "Node.js® is a platform built on Chrome's JavaScript runtime for easily building fast, scalable network applications. Node.js uses an event-driven, non-blocking I/O model that makes it lightweight and efficient, perfect for data-intensive real-time applications that run across distributed devices."
- danbruc 12y agoDevelop once, run everywhere was obviously not meant to be applied to backend code but to the client part. But besides that asynchronous IO is (usually) an OS-level feature and there is really no need to surface these features with JavaScript, many other languages could and can do this as well.
