The only thing I'm worried about is the programming. If you've got some criticism about that, I'm all ears.

I don't have any personal feelings about node's ecosystem. It's just a tool that I take for granted. I set up the site with express, and now I don't think about it. It just works. I have a server hooked into the main parser to shuttle stuff between it and express. Sometimes I need to make use of the filesystem. Other that that, I'm pretty much using straight javascript. It's google's v8 work that's doing most of the heavy lifting for me. Besides, I didn't know that I had to have feelings for the tools that I use in order to be accepted in the development community. And yes, I am recruiting people who are interested in doing something awesome with this tool. And I'll offer something even better that paychecks: how about co-ownership? > Good luck to you and your product, but kindly take your noise elsewhere. > Nah, I think I'll chill here for awhile. I'm sure there are some people around here like me that appreciate new technology over the same old politics. -- Job Board: http://jobs.nodejs.org/ Posting guidelines: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Mailing-List-Posting-Guidelines You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nodejs" group.
