Show HN: Nodal. Next-Generation Node.js Server and Framework
A little off-topic, but I figured the people reading the comments here would be the best place to ask. Why use JavaScript on the server at all? I&#x27;ve developed on both the front end and back end, and written non-trivial server-side code in a number of languages, and I don&#x27;t see any use-case where JavaScript is &quot;best-in-class.&quot; It seems like whether you&#x27;re aiming for ease&#x2F;speed of prototyping, pure performance, a good concurrency model, or... any other task I can think of, there&#x27;s a better tool for the job. There seems to be a decent number of people and companies using Node, though, so let me know what I&#x27;m missing!
