Ask HN: what's the state of server-side JS in 2011?
2 points by nailer on Jan 31, 2011 | hide | past | favorite
Hi guys,

I'd like to bite the bullet and learn server-side JS programming.

What's the MVC you prefer and why? Is there a single, dominant MVC like Django or Rails for JS? Is it Rhino? Spludo? Or something else? Do they support Mongo? What template languages do they use? Maybe most people just use Node on its own?

What's commonjs packaging like? Can you find modules to handle a random task?

Where are good community sites to follow this kind of stuff?

Thanks!
