BTW, what's the status 'Node programming'? After the initial hype it seemed to have landed in the 'trough of disillusionment'.
Are companies still creating new Node applications? Or just maintaining the old until they are replaced?
Will Node be a valuable skill in 2 years?
- romanovcode 11y agoSome companies just start with node because certain people enforce due to the hype it has.
- rwallace 11y agoI'm personally using it for a non-web project, but the most typical use case for it is websites where some chunk of logic has to run on both client and server; this is quite a common scenario and when it arises, Node is the only game in town unless you want to write that code twice in two different languages and then have to maintain the two versions in lockstep. (People have started using the word 'isomorphic' to describe this scenario; one could argue whether that's strictly accurate, but it's close enough to be suggestive at least.)
- bryanlarsen 11y agoWe're using Node on new apps. Node is still the top choice for sharing code between the client and server. That's a niche case, but a significant niche.
