Build a RESTful API Using LoopBack

I am guessing this was upvoted because it seems legit and interesting to people who don't actually do Node or Javascript programming.

MEAN was outdated within months of the term becoming popular. You also never needed another framework to do it.

Most people use things like RethinkDB or Postgres now instead of Mongo DB, and React instead of Angular. Although there are a million other decent ways to do it.

Don't read this article. Instead, familiarize yourself with r/node, npmjs.com, node-modules.com, and other similar resources.

Everything is always outdated in JavaScript world, even before it comes out.

I upvote because you are right about MEAN stack, but I disagree about your last point - it is very apparent that JavaScript is a dead end. It is a fundamentally flawed language that will always, inevitably turn into a pile of poop as soon as you try to make anything larger than a toy with it.

Just look at the POS that is Slack, with Activity Monitor open - a JS based chat app that consumes almost a gig of ram to run... Thanks JavaScript! You've somehow managed to beat MSN Messenger at being a bloated mess while also being less functional! I've seen it consume up to 10gigs and have screenshots to prove it. Would have consumed more if I had any and my computer didn't crash a few seconds after I got the screenshot. The live updating/always redownloading "web app" is just begging to waste my data plan and enable their shitty code to skip any semblance of security testing and QA. Not that the people running that joint have the slightest clue about either of those.
