On: “Node.js is one of the worst things to happen to the software industry” (2012)

Sure, powerful. As long as you're mainly I/O-bound and shared-nothing.

Oh, and your link actually DOES show that the JVM is better. It can give you everything node.js has and then some.

If you want to see something like node.js for grown-ups, take a look at Vert.x or Akka (& Frameworks based on it), for example.

(Sorry for the snark, it's been a long day...)
