It truly warms my heart to hear this! I'm so glad people are fighting back against political correctness. We're all just trying to get work done, and we have to put up with this constant background noise. Checking in once in a whi

Agree that WebAssembly is the big one to watch. On the prior point, from my experience there is a big confirmation bias at work and I think these discussions would go better if there was some disclosure of how invested each person was in th

> isn't a flaming pile of crap The hyperbole in every criticism of Node must be there for a reason. I think it is more a reflection on the state of mind of the critic rather than the language. I would posit that many have dedicated

There is a trade off being made. The whole point of the presets system is to not bring in the modules you don't need. As the Node.js runtime and browser ES6/7 feature support grows, you will not need certain plugins. Your title is

Long live Node.js! As everyone has mentioned this seems to be a simple case where the rewrite is a completely different architecture, which could have been done in Node.js. I'm interested in why this continues to happen. Seems like Nod

The JS/React ecosystem is moving rapidly right now. I got caught in the middle of a storm when I updated my toolchain from Backbone/Sprockets to React/Redux/Webpack. There was Flux, then a bunch of Flux implementations,
