Yes, it's a combination of fashion, marketing, path dependence, etc. There is actually some technical merit to Node.js because it forces all code to be async, although one might ask why Erlang didn't get Node's mindshare instead. (BTW, server-side JS actually did exist back in the day but it was completely ignored, which proves your point exactly.) |
