Re: [nodejs] Should i use node?

[Mark Hahn]

Node sounds like a fit to me.

Why do you have workers?  Doesn't rails automatically use threads/processes
to allow multiple things to happen at once?  (I know nothing about how a
rails server works).

That's exactly the use case node.js was designed for: shoveling loads
of data from one network endpoint to another.

That event-driven I/O is something of a paradigm shift. It takes some
getting used to but if you've used e.g. EventMachine before, you'll be
fine.

Recommended by who? Based on what?

I had the chance to assist to a talk that Isaac gave on JsConfAr, about
this.. I cant find his talk online right now but this post looks similar:

I wont use something because the upvoters. I have 2 months working in node
for serious when i need something i search with npm (slow), or google ->
github. Then i look at the github page to see if it does what i want, and
if is not clear i look at the examples folder then at the test folder. If
it does what i want i will use. If it doesnt and i think it should I can
fork it and enhance, or look for some other module.

Well your results could be documented (all of our results) in a central
place, along the voting Mark mentioned.  Elements like recent commits,
forks, contributors and download count would be very helpful too, also
documentation and testing rating and if the project has a web page or not.

It would be just one more piece of data to use when evaluating a module.
 You could make of it whatever you want.

Of course it would cause competition and maybe hurt feelings, but that is
life.

Re: [nodejs] Should i use node?

[marco . rogers]

Recommended by a majority of your community peers that you respect. And yes 
that is a vague and fuzzy definition. It should be because there's no 
prescription here. We're just talking about a rough priority list that tries to 
reflect the prevailing trends.

Or at least that's what I've been pushing. It may end up looking differently.
