Haha so true. I noticed there's a part of HN that hates JavaScript and NoSQL.

Usually for bad reasons like a false dichotomy between SQL & NoSQL (you usually want both) or some performance comment about JS when they're using like a Rails, Django, or Laravel (some old/slow cult framework that doesn't hold a candle to Node).

Feels like Rust found its place with Next.js' Turbopack (basically Webpack but in Rust), and is good for use cases like that. I think reinventing wheels in other languages makes sense when they bring obvious value like performance or some convenience - and this Show HN fits that description.

Like someone else said - it might've been even cooler as not a re-write but a new approach in Node.

I would love to see Node eat more of Linux personally. To me JavaScript is like the "English" of programming (C is "Latin"?), with JSON being the standard transfer format and the browser being a major (if not the major) platform. Not to mention it's by far the most performant of the dynamic web languages (compared with PHP, Ruby, Python).

While I am not opposed to creating something that could be a competitor I wanted to learn how k8s worked. I suspect I would be hesitant to create the specs though.

It's an awesome way to learn :) Well either way, cool project
