I haven't tried Mongo.db, but Node.js takes up a lot of resources in a browser, Node.js apps feels a bit like the widest book strategy in the bookstore, you have to shove other stuff out of your browser, in order to use stuff that uses Node.js, and I feel that as a rather arrogant approach to deliver software, especially, when the functionality of Node.js apps doesn't really dictate the necessity. AS for Javscript, there are worser languages out there, and the debuggers are good enough now, so it can be perceived as a "normal" language.

> but Node.js takes up a lot of resources in a browser You must be confused. Node.js is used to run JavaScript on the server, not in a browser (the client).

  That may be so, but when I run something with Node.js in my browser, then I may have to close other things. So, wherever it runs, it really uses too much resources, and therefore I find it as a bad idea from the consumer perspective. It shouldn't be so, that somebody else, should dictate the content of your browser.

    Are you sure you know what node.js is?

      The short definition would be: "node.js is something that eats up my browsers latency", something along those lines, and as far as I am concerned, that is everything I have to know about it. Node.js is a no stop for me.

        Can you name some of those Node.js apps that have been causing problems for you?

        PopcornTime is performing badly on my machine, I actually have to shut down the browser to use it, I usally have 50+ tabs open in it, -that I use.

        Last time I ran Popcorn time, it didn't run in the browser. Has that changed?

    Node.js is something that runs on server ONLY. It's 100% like PHP but with JS instead. Your browser never sees nor executes Node.js code. It only operates on text a Node.js server produces.

You should switch to io.js. It's more performant. :trollface:
