[nodejs] express.io = express + socket.io

2012-12-30 Thread Brad Carleton
Hi all, I just released express.io, a realtime-web micro framework for nodejs. Express.io is a superset of express and socket.io, and it aims to unify the two frameworks in a lightweight high performance manner. It is a drop-in replacement for express. Check it out and give some feedback.

I plan on keeping up with the latest and greatest of both Express and Socket.io (3.0.4 and 0.9.13 currently). And with the great versioning capabilities of npm, this should be easy. The website is here: http://express-io.org The repo is here: http://github.com/techpines/express.io

As an author of a couple of coffeescript projects in node, I agree the code that goes into npm should NOT be coffeescript. That being said when you are developing an application, adding an explicit build step is not fun. I mean I wouldn't want to see all the assembly or binary files that my j

Sorry to jump in with a me too, but I have been doing all of my nodejs and client side code in coffeescript, and I very much prefer it. I understand the pure javascript point of view, because to some degree it puts the burden on the pure javascript devs to learn coffeescript. Whereas, for a co

@Nathan upfront compilation adds a significant amount of complexity to an app. The guys that work on Java apps sometimes have a team dedicated to the "build", which is just building/compiling the app. Everything should be just-in-time. This makes it an order of magnitude simpler to develop.
