Hi All,
I've been reading about node js lately.
When I search for why somebody would use node js for server side rather than
java or asp, it really seems like they are saying things that java and c# can already do easily.
Also, when they mention downfalls like it's not multi threaded it's not a bad thing but a feature.
Writing the server side in javascript because the frontend is also javascript doesn't really make sense. You can use json with java and c# easily.
You would be basically giving up all the better stuff that java or c# has just so you can write in javascript.
If there is a really good javascript developer I'm sure learning java or c# would not be hard at all.
Is node js faster? Setting up a web project for spring boot or asp core is just as fast if not faster if you have an
ide.
I would imagine the more complicated your project gets, the easier it would be in java or c#.
Java and c# frameworks also scale well.
Is it because it's cheaper? Is that the real selling point?
