Very true, it has less I/O delays but for now our app is going to be light on database I/O and instead comparatively heavier on CPU computations ( I think so, can anyone confirm? ). I can add about all the single threaded nature of nodejs to tell how that makes it bad use case but my real reason of hesitation with nodejs is below. > 2.

Yes, same language across the web is great but we must admit that express framework is not as powerful as Rails, Django, CakePHP or Laravel specially when it comes to simple CRUD apps. No doubt, we can hope to see them becoming better in coming days but for now when all that our backend code does is a bit of authentication and calling BRL-CAD at times a bit of PHP won't bite us (developers). Again, I am no expert and this is just an opinion. I may ask someone better than me in the community and answer later. -- Inderpreet Singh Ekoankar Sahai ishwerdas.com facebook.com/okayinder https://kippt.com/okayinder ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ CenturyLink Cloud: The Leader in Enterprise Cloud Services.
