Just a question... is erlang a direct competitor to javascript with this
paradigm?

I really agree with this and I wish so much webbrowser could use
python as javascript

It is pretty clear that the future belongs to javascript, as long as
that is the language that all browsers support.  Expect javascript
JITs to improve.  Expect the growth of more full-blown desktop-like
apps hosted in the browser (like the Ext JS desktop demo).  Expect
people to begin to hate refreshing the page.

By including jQuery, web2py is ahead of the curve, or at least on par
with the other "traditional" frameworks.  We could probably make AJAX
even easier if we tried.  We probably should try.  More support for
reducing page refreshes.

I think node.js is fantastic. It is not a serverside framework and JS
is still not that friendly compared to python but for some
applications node.js is really fast. Erlang is better though.

I tend to agree that LAMP will thrive for quite some time.

But node.js and the article are interesting. The one thing I have witnessed 
with good success is returning tabular data as JSON and then using 
JavaScript to render the . We used YUI for this with good results. We 
could easily return thousands of rows and then create tables that had 
real-time sorting, filtering and paging.

In general, JavaScript does seem like a reasonable choice at the server 
level (although I still prefer Python syntax).

I'm still not a fan of some of the "event streaming". It definitely makes 
sense in some situations. But I still like most things to have an address.

I think the author is still in the honeymoon with his newly found
love: Node.js.

After the honeymoon, he will realize that the LAMP stack is not only
dead, it'll be around and kicking for a long time to come.   The same
is uncertain for "javascript frameworks", which will find their places
nonetheless.
