I was only responding to this statement:
"Ours is all in python and php with darkhttpd as the webserver. I dispise nodejs, it reminds me of the cluster that ruby gems are² Which is clearly not valid. Nodejs is clearly the better solution in almost any application (better security, more responsive, scales better and is easier to support, etc) given two equally skilled programmers. Another thing, you and William are twisting my words. I never said Javascript was the perfect language. I said it was ³the more perfect language², which means it is better than others, but not any where near perfect. If you have a language whose syntax, style, structure, security, etc is considered to be better than Javascript, name one. We are talking about server side applications, so I don¹t know where kernel device drivers popped into the discussion. Oh, and BTW, we are only here to help so it doesn¹t help to get either aggressive or defensive. We are here to share ideas and out experience. We all have something to learn.
