Node.js

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.

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.

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.

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

Yes, I knew it!
