I finally took the time to dive into node.js and I must say, its pretty awesome.
It’s Server-Side JavaScript
It can handle a massive amount of concurrent requests
It’s very easy to pickup
The community is currently VERY active on IRC room on freenode and mailing list.
Many of the other developers I talked to are busy contemplating the current node.js application framework scene and plotting out their own node.js application frameworks. Having started and stopped countless framework projects, I wanted to start somewhere a bit more tangible (and useful): the debugger.
