> The difference is, you can write a Node.js web application 10x faster than the equivalent application in Java, and with a drastically smaller codebase
Building a prototype, maybe; But's it's hard to believe that Node.js give a 10x boost in programmer productivity in the long run. The recent success of typescript is an indication of the limit of dynamic languages for big projects
