I disagree.  I think node is unlike anything we&#x27;ve seen thus far.  It&#x27;s not php, it&#x27;s not python and it&#x27;s not ruby.<p>I, literally, cannot rebuild my application from a year and a half ago that is standard node + npm.  The deps are broken...the code won&#x27;t build with node-gyp...i mean node-waf...i mean who knows?  What a mess and a HUGE regret.
