JavaScript is pretty amazing cause you can use one language for both client side and server side. No more learning a dozen languages to make your web app. One is all you need.

When I went to university, we were not allowed to learn c because it was not yet officially recognized as a computer language by the British computer society. C++ was invented about a year later I think. We were taught pascal. I've never ever used pascal for real or ever seen it outside of academia. I'm sure I've told this story before so thanks for reading. Cheers. Also I am typing this on a blackberry PlayBook and it's very baf

tbh i'd rather talk about specific frameworks and poo poo over languages

i'd much rather see a debate between emberjs/backbonejs or rails/django or something, see pros and cons of those

language pros and cons tend to be irrelevant to me because i'm using a language either (a) because it's the only thing i can use (javascript) or (b) because i like the frameworks/libraries it has

there's no disadvantages to running javascript on a server besides a smaller ecosystem to build on

and don't say callback hell (just to pick out one of the many nonsensical criticisms against it); there's tons of libraries out there for taming it

it's not a one-size-fit-all solution, and because of the small ecosystem and immature libraries it probably won't (and shouldn't) form the backbone of your site, but there's tons of web apps from github to okcupid using it in production alongside other frameworks for specific tasks it excels at. as it matures, you'll probably start to see more full stacks based on node.

how about the fact that all of the major javascript runtimes are single-threaded, slow as gently caress, and require at least an order of magnitude more cpu/ram/diskio than just writing your server in C like god intended?

how about that none of this is relevant for the ways nodejs is currently being used by sites in production?

also okcupid is a c++ shop and even they decided to switch to node for some of their stuff (and created tamejs to support it, which is nice), so apparently some people prefer the easiness over the speed vOv

"some" meaning anything that doesn't need to be reliable, fast, or efficient

if your goal is to poo poo out a bunch of unreadable spaghetti code, waste cpu time, create some github repos and call it a day, then node.js and javascript are the technologies for you!

idk i'm trying to pick and choose my time

i've had school taking up time. i have to get some sort of job this summer; it's gonna be some retail thing, i've got actual projects i want to do (things in javascript, because that's what i know). so that leaves like not a lot of pure learning time

i'd like to learn c, or maybe lisp, but i don't have anything i'm working on that would really benefit from another language, or any projects i want to start that could use another language.

and plus there's so much more poo poo i have to learn besides just languages. i want to learn redis (not that there's much to learn), mongodb, oh, also how to better-use actual SQL dbs, some basic devops stuff (migrations, deploys, etc). i'd like to learn how to do concurrent programming, wanna play around with functional languages, etc., etc.

oh and i also really need to learn mobile web development. maybe even like iphone app development.

so i have to pick and choose. right now i'm doing emberjs stuff because it's an undeveloped ecosystem where i have a chance to really contribute, i'm pretty good at javascript, and a project i'm working on needed a js mvc framework and i found emberjs easier to get started with than backbonejs.
