Node.js is not dead. Please stop posting FUD. The io.js and Node.js projects are going to be merged in the future, work is currently ongoing. Node.js has stable releases all around, there is no technical reason, not to bet on it.

Well, changes are usually small, and Node.js is fast to write :) — But yeah, would prefer those tools be in Erlang, and we’ve covered how to handle that :) Best Jan -- > > -- > ,,,^..^,,, -- Professional Support for Apache CouchDB: http://www.neighbourhood.ie/couchdb-support/
