I think there's the right tool for the right job, and that differs from person to person. Not every application needs an elegant concurrency model, and not every developer is ready to burdened with pointer management. I think this is w

Lots of respect for Ryan. His ideas brought about major changes (for the better IMO) in both front-end and backend development. It's hard to imagine a world without all of the tooling and frameworks that Node has brought about, even if

Any advice you would give to a team going this route? And, I've found that integration tests help keep my sanity if a refactor occurs anywhere. Any learning(s) for adapting to refactors across services?

Pinback has recently helped me write a ton of code. Tool, A Perfect Circle, Ashes Divide for a mellow, metal mood. Vitamin String Quartet when I want something familiar, but classical in taste Nicklecreek, Chris Thile, Old Crow Medicine Sho

Hmm... can't tell if this is an attempted Node slam, but figured I would add that you can mimic threads / concurrent tasks by utilizing the child_process or cluster modules.

> Dynamic import() expressions This is exciting. About a month ago, I tried this just expecting it to already be supported. I was sad to learn it wasn't. Kudos to the Typescript team for the awesome, continual improvements.
