Is node.js dead yet?

2 comments

I think this wheel of fortune will continue to roll, of course, from one hype to another. If someone want to be the `sucker` that believes that creating a LLVM on node.js is a good idea, no one will stop that person of course, but the trends of the current reality will at some point with an unavoidable nosedive.

Theres a difference between being a pioneer or an adventurer from being a fool who let their emotions turn technology akin to a religious cult.

Node.js, of course, can be a great tool, but only if you know when and where to use it (just like the demonized PHP, can be great and work like a charm, you should also know when to nevermind the boll..).

More and more popular I hear. Exciting stuff, though JS seems very much disliked on HN.
