Sooo.. Why Paypal switched from Java to Node then?

BTW. I work with Java & GWT and I find it overkill for our needs. It took 5 months to make a 4 views, each with image or video grids and upload button.

On the side. I have on my free time working with Django and have a website with Authentification, comments, categories... In the end, my personal project has more features.. less lines.

Instragram uses Django and so is Disqus. Are those slow?

I work with the same stack and don't understand what could have taken so much?

Or did you include time spent reading the docs?
