nodejs 💀

its ok if not used in production

I can sense you are a NodeJs hater, may I ask why?

smoky rapids
#

many companies that used node in production suffered losses

#

one of the main companies that uses node is uber, it is completely unprofitable

#

also in companies like uber, netflix - there are almost daily leaks of user data.
I think this happens so often because of the high pace of development and low-skilled nodejs programmers - since the entry threshold is minimal, a typical nodejs programmers job consists of an npm install shit-package

Those companies are in losses not because nodejs, but you're not ready for that conversation

#

Still if you're using nodejs in a mega project globally utilized it's not going to be the best, but your filthy ass wouldn't know it because it's a homemade project

That's right, I personally don't like how many things in NodejS work. Damn, they even had to invent TypeScript so you can avoid drowning in runtime errors.

And the day that a language like Rust can offer the ecosystem that NodeJs has, making development fast and easy, with extensive support for a variety of functionalities, NodeJs will stop being used.

But until that day comes, companies and developers value more the time they save by using NodeJs than the 320 milliseconds that they could have save in a for loop if they used Rust

#

But a blind hate to a whole ecosystem because it is a “meme” wont get you very far, you don’t suffer the downsides of NodeJs and never will. Because the scale required for NodeJs to start being a problem is huge, go ask the big companies that actually use it like Nasa and Uber.

Being a developer involves knowing when to trade ease of use over other things
