Right. How do node.js apps horizontally scale better?

• woah 12y ago
  It forces the developer to scale horizontally

    So how does that meet the definition of better? By only creating one direction vs two?

      It's a clear sour grapes scenario. They can't have a solution to shared state anyway, because of the semantics of Javascript, so they go with the idea that shared state is an attractive hazard. Which it absolutely is, but the one isn't sufficient to justify the other. Erlang seems to have this right. You can have all the shared state you want but it can't cross component boundaries, and therefore you can multiprocess your little hearts out.
