> What is the motivation behind writing tools like these in JavaScript? I mean it's probably as simple as the person writing it being most familiar with JavaScript. There are a LOT of javascript developers who have never used perl/python/ruby before. They're not going to learn another tool just to write the tool they want. From a technical perspective, node also has much platform support (notably on windows) than perl/python/ruby. |
