Great article. Couldn't agree more. These are all reasons why I don't understand why there is this rush to embrace Javascript on the server side, the one place where you are actually free to use a "reasonable" language.
- JoeAltmaier 12y agoHalf the app runs on the server (maybe more). Its helpful to use a familiar toolchain across the whole app.
- mrec 12y agoMaybe. It's a high price to pay for that, though. And with the rise of JS-as-target tools like asm.js and WebSharper, that toolchain doesn't necessarily have to be Javascript.
- matthewmacleod 12y ago1. Runs on both front- and back-end. 2. Loads of people are familiar with it. 3. Isn't that bad if you know what you're doing with it. There's a cost to all of this, and there are better options. But it's really not hard to see why Javascript is gaining traction on the server side, as rubbish as it is.
