   I see BigCo who uses NodeJS only use it for their front-end appserver that farms the actual work to microservices _that are not written in NodeJS_ behind the scene. I've had a conversation with someone where I asked "how do you de

   There does not seem a day to go by without a NodeJS-based framework/library get the heat from the community ever since December 2015. It appears that 2016 is the year when the hype from NodeJS died down and vendors/OSS-community m

   Yes it does sound stupid. 1. Server-side uses Linux, installation through command-line 2. Java standard library API owns by Oracle? fine by 99% of the companies out there. I'm just using those libraries.

   That sounds like the pre-ORM days. These days ORM would map member variable id to database table id.

   I'll pick Java, SpringMVC, Maven, JUnit+DBUnit, and FlyWay (DB migration) and any appserver (jetty, tomcat, TomEE, glassfish) thrown at me except from the BigCos (WebLogic, WebSphere). Those tools are pretty close to what Rails give yo

   I recently wrestled with the idea of using NodeJS for any side projects. I touched Ruby/Rails in the past for a few times (on-off between small works) and never really felt excited or see it as something "beautiful" because a

    I'm with you on this one (except the Elixir part, never tried, can't comment). Many past NodeJS stories/use-cases from the big name companies like LinkedIN, eBay, Wal-mart seemed to use NodeJS as a front-end server. The back-

    My new/current job is 100% JavaScript and I have been thinking to choose NodeJS and either React/EmberJS/AngularJS for my newbside project (a typical CRUD app) that I will have to maintain for a very long time. I almost chose

    Hopefully it's a future of options: not mandatory to work remotely. I'm with the majority though: I prefer to work from the office most of the time

    To me it has always been the tooling and its ecosystems around the language that matters, not some of these advanced features... So C# might lose its appeal to you specifically but not to many people ;)

    You can specify which java version you're compiling and execute (unit and integration test included) within maven execution. Granted it's not rvm/rbenv that literally install multiple version of Ruby.

    I'm using sublime. I'm in the market for great sublime plugins and it would be great if you could let me know what plugins you use :). My workflow goes like this: 1. Write new code 2. Write unit-test 3. Run _just that_ unit-test w

    There are 2 workflows here: 1. the ability to run everything (a.k.a the whole project) using the preferred SCM (or build tools) for example: mvn clean install where your pom.xml already set to have cobertura (code coverage), checkstyle&#x2F

    I'm guessing you're probably not writing unit test or use code coverage plugins or running static code analysis to provide feedback incrementally and quickly?

    Seems like these points glossed a lot of things as well. I mean... what language that locks you down with one specific operating system (up until recently when they lost the market)? I see other languages copying Java tools/ecosystems

    It's hard to argue that the all-round experience JavaScript development is better than say Java/C#. The former language has to deal with at least 2 different ecosystems: NodeJS and Browser and the latter usually try its best to gi
