watched 10 regrets of NODE pioneer recently. it is the talk where he mentions Golang as a "better language" for server stuff. wanna share my analysis:why NODE became successful:> small core> rejected hardcoding Promise objects> no "security concerns" whatsoever> pressed users to build extensionswhy NODE is loosing the grip:> big, staticly linked monolith> hardcoded Promise objects> security zealots everywhere> FFI abomination> old, complicated build system in Python (still not dog foodding itself)> still cannot include a filethat may explain why "I love typescript!" Deno (written in Go) has no grip. "This was one of goals of Dart!".. "Total failure!".. hehehe.. "Please use typescript".. "Rust might be a good choice for Deno"..cloud window pops up in the middle of the talk, interrupting the poet. anyway, the most important thing to success, IMO is pressing user-developers to build the runtime system.. otherwise whom do you grow? some easy easy take it easy wimps? who would be doing another iteration?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M3BM9TB-8yA
I am scared of living in public because of this technology
