Visualizing JavaScript as a Solar System

- moron4hire 11y agoI don't understand how this solar system metaphor is supposed to work. I thought the different versions of ECMAScript were going to be orbits, but then it sort of drops the entire idea on the floor for a bit to draw some pie charts, before finally picking the metaphor back up again, but it's actually the transpiling languages that are the planets orbiting a multi-shelled sun. It looks nice, but I don't get how the metaphor is supposed to enhance our understanding. If anything, I think a newbie seeing this would just get confused.
- z3t4 11y agoA javascript universe without Node.JS would be like god without Jesus. NodeJS completely change the way you write JavaScript. What's so fantastic about node is that you can not import, use or include. You can only use modules. This combined with full object oriented programming support and asynchronous code execution makes NodeJS truly revolutionary!
