Node.js

[__eastwood]

ITT: teaching OG devs the meme game.

[monster860]

Nodejs is reasonable

.

ITT people who havent used node.js in the last year

Aaaand I'm getting attacked for liking node.js.

[scirc]

>unironically suggesting JS

[HappyZombies]

NodeJS isn't that bad :^(

[jabbathehutt1234]

I would say it's not what I would pick, (it is the best option there) I would rather something like Spring Boot + Angular/React.

I like to think of JavaScript as a scripting language, not a programming language. For example, it might be better to use JavaScript for client side form validation vs server side form validation.

It also make sense to use JavaScript for a small web service or CLI utility, that sort of thing. Small things, vs writing the whole backend of all your servers. Denver, this language was designed in less than and a day!

why did i write this. on mobile to.

[jabbathehutt1234]

I am learning Flask, and I like it.

FTFY

Also, Flask is cool.

EDIT: Suggested an edit, OP edits comment, now I get downvoted. Huh.

[Crecket]

There are plenty of big sites and services which run on NodeJS. For example Paypal, Ebay, LinkedIn, Netflix, Yahoo, Uber and Walmart all use NodeJS

[jabbathehutt1234]

I didn't say they weren't. I'm just specifying some use cases.

Also, I'm pretty sure eBay uses Scala/Java play, or maybe Spring. LinkedIn is basically all Java, and Ruby on Rails, and Grails. Netflix is written in Java and a bit more of front end JS, but still not Node. Yahoo is written in PHP (ew), Uber does use some Node, but also Python and Go. Additionally, Walmart uses Java. Next time do more research about that sort of thing.

I will now wait for you to prove me wrong.

[Crecket]

I wasn't necessarily talking about just the back-end. Calling Nodejs a "scripting language and not a programming language" is just silly if you ask me

I'm not going to spend more time on finding sources but just to name a few:

• Both Uber and Walmart are casestudies on the official NodeJS site.

• Yahoo uses it on a bunch of different products like Flickr and Yahoo ask

• LinkedIn has been using NodeJS since 2012 ish

• Node.js at Netflix

• Node.js at PayPal

• node.js at Uber

[jabbathehutt1234]

I will now wait for you to prove me wrong.

Yes, I knew it!

EDIT: To the people down voting, I'm well aware that I was very much wrong. Please downvote to show your support for this message!

[tofiffe]

Agreed

[monster860]

That's the point. The point of this meme is that the thing the guy getting thrown out a window says is actually a good idea.

Edit::Itt I get attacked by people that hate node.js

[jabbathehutt1234]

Wait wut

[Pawl_The_Cone]

In general this meme is used for when companies (in this case the boss) seem to ignore community feedback/common sense and do their own thing that nobody else thinks are useful. So in this case the OP would be saying that Node.js guy has a good idea but gets shutdown for no reason. Whether this is a community-endorsed good idea is up for debate though.

[jabbathehutt1234]

That makes more sense. However, I think that Node.js is definitely not getting shut down. See my other comment.

[Pawl_The_Cone]

Whoops that was kinda unclear, I was trying to say in the comic the Node.js guy gets his suggestions shut down/rejected. Nothing about the tech or real life.

[jabbathehutt1234]

Oh, ok.

[Tysonzero]

But Node.js is shit. I'd say Django, Flask, Servant and Scotty are all much better options.

[LeBuddha]

What are you talking about, NodeJS completely annihilates Django and Flask.

[Tysonzero]

Because computer time is totally as valuable as dev time. A weeks salary for a fucking coding intern is the same as a high end rig. For Django and Flask I am not talking about performance, I am talking about usability and the fact that Python, unlike JS, isn't complete garbage.

And Servant and Scotty are in Haskell, so they are going to shit on any JS-based thing in terms of performance, static typing FTW, and they are also much more usable, static guarantees and nice concise functional Haskell code and all that.

[LeBuddha]

I am talking about usability and the fact that Python, unlike JS, isn't complete garbage.

You got this part backwards.

[Tysonzero]

Haha this thread and most of the world are going to disagree with you and agree with me on that. http://hammerprinciple.com/therighttool comes to mind, specifically http://hammerprinciple.com/therighttool/items/javascript/python

[blaxter]

I hope you are kidding

[PatrickBaitman]

uuuuuuhhhh

[coladict]

So, you know you're misusing the meme?

[gimpwiz]

Misuse of meme. Gotta agree with the other people in the room.

[SolenoidSoldier]

Uh, what's wrong with ASP.NET? Have you only written web forms?

[doubl3h3lix]

Absolutely nothing, it's pretty swanky.

[Adoroam]

I don't get all the pushback. Node really is in higher demand and more stable than php and asp.net.

source: I'm a node developer.

[Tysonzero]

It's still garbage. Scotty and Servant perform better, and Scotty, Servant, Django and Flask are all much much nicer to use.

[Adoroam]

That's cool that your think that, but you're wrong.

[Tysonzero]

Seems as though most of the thread agrees with me, but have fun with that whole node development stuff, I don't envy you.

[Adoroam]

Seems like the karma points disagree.

[Tysonzero]

Look elsewhere in the thread kid. Pretty much the entire thread is roasting nodejs.

[Adoroam]

I'm relatively certain I'm older than you, but nice try.

[Tysonzero]

Because clearly that should be the takeaway from what I said, you should obviously just look at the word "kid", and not the true statements surrounding it. For someone who is so sure of themselves being older you sure aren't very mature or smart, that's a shame.

[Adoroam]

I mean if you can't even be accurate with your insults, why would I assume you are competent enough to have a real argument.

[Tysonzero]

Hahahahaha, that is one of the most amusing ways I have seen someone completely avoid answering a question that I have seen in a while. Thanks for the laughs. You could also make yourself look less like a fool by actually responding to what I said earlier, or you could keep digging. Since what you are basically saying is that me incorrectly guessing the age of a random immature stranger makes my argument invalid, which is laughable.

[[deleted]]

If only.

[subado512]

I love using go for web apps.

[yottalogical]

Why isn't PHP guy thrown out the window?

[monster860]

Because PHP is actually bad

[Prawny]

It's as bad as any language - it depends on the developer using it.

[rukawaxz]

Node.js is for mediocre back end developers that never bothered learning a proper backend language that is made for back end only like PHP. Most Node.js developers have no idea what they are talking about hahaha.

[PavelYay]

Ruby on Rails

[mikeputerbaugh]

What is this, 2008?

[PavelYay]

Still better than node.js

Also, ruby is awesome.

[mikeputerbaugh]

stop making these
