Yes. I recall Ryan Dahl saying that he first looked at other languages, but he picked JS because it simply didn't have a server-side presence, and so he could 'define' the ecosystem to be async. And it was pretty fast what with the V8 improvements. The benefit of using js for both back- and front-end was just a nice extra. |
