I'm just conceding that these argument cannot be won. Tomes have been written and the argument becomes unproductive very quickly. It's like people who believe in God arguing with those who do not. It's not about JavaScript or

I'm no zealot, and don't think these are absolute truths by any means but I've worked extensively on enterprise solutions in both C#/.Net and Node.js and can respond to your points below. 1. It turns out the reactor patt

Care to back up any of your assertions? If your main complaint is popularity, your argument comes off as elitist.

This pattern is commonly called "materialized path", if anyone is trying to search for it.

I really enjoy that trend. Tech is a dry topic with typically uninspiring presenters.

I agree with this. The surface area of most modules is small enough to be covered in a README.md, which is displayed prominently on npmjs.org, github.com and a copy of it is in your ./node_modules folder. As said earlier, the core Node

If your application is largely fetching a bunch of external resources, say from something slow like a database or a web API, mashing them up and returning a response to a client, you need async. Node has a very beginner-friendly primitive f

Or your needs are so insanely complex - as in project management - that modelling the problem in any detail leads to a million features and an inflexible solution.

Either I'm interpreting this too simplistically or they're doing a great deal better than I expected.

This is a broad social generalization so please take it with a grain of salt, but I do think there is an element of truth to the notion that Japanese people take good care of their elderly maintaining their dignity and keeping a healthy res

I wonder it could be split up, and the necessary segment(s) could be dynamically loaded based on OS language preferences?

I was indeed.

I appreciate that the author distilled his thoughts about software down into porno terms we can all relate to.

What's wrong with just using Bower?

I used public transit, taxis and car sharing services exclusively until I started a family. At which point setting up the carseat every time became prohibitively cumbersome and I bought my own car. Children's car seats are very persona

I would argue that Google's job now includes executing javascript and evaluating dynamically loaded content. Break the web.

I think my point is clear when you read what I wrote as a whole instead of dissecting parts. I'm allowed to editorialize a bit, am I not? I'm not a robot nor am I writing my thesis on the subject, we're just talking here.

It is true though that many js deficiencies have turned out to be factors contributing to node's popularity. A lack of namespaces, standard library and import/require come to mind. I'm not interested in arguing about technica

Different yes, conflicting no. ES6 standard promises have landed in v8 ( https://code.google.com/p/v8/source/browse/trunk/src/promise... ) so it's only a short matter of time until the &quot

Because bolting reusable libraries together is 90% (meaningless number alert) of what we do when assembling modern applications. And in this respect, Node is perfectly suited to the job, boasting a) A small core API instead of a sprawling s

The writing here is very nice. I wish my writing carried itself as well. Beyond the style and structure, the tone of the article is remarkable and lovely. Cynicism wrapped in love and hope and nostalgia. Nice work.

It would be great if this was published as an npm module.

Sure, why not? See the "asshole vacuum" scene in HBO's Silicon Valley S01E02.

DHH does have a point, but he makes it in a manner that is hyperbolic, accusatory, narrow-minded, stubborn and often rude. I find him to be a negative voice in the community and a dangerous leader. I am happy to fight fire with fire where n

It is owned by a single corporate entity who is also its primary sponsor, Typesafe. This is similar to how Joyent owns node, and how they sponsor it's development, along with NodeJitsu, Microsoft, Heroku and others.
