Gotcha. That I can understand. I was squeamish about js on the server myself until I started playing around w/ node.

Node with Typescript is a huge amount of fun.

Well now, there's an idea. I just don't see writing something like a web server in a scripted language though. Sure, for a test jig, great, but do people really use Node for production servers?

Err, yes. I've got a fairly large scale app running on Node with the business logic all written in TypeScript. It's less processor intensive than running it on an IIS rig so that was a big incentive for me.

Interesting! Gah, I try to avoid IIS. I ended up writing my own web server that could sit under IIS, but there's no need to.

I managed to reduce running costs to about 45% of the IIS costs, keeping a similar throughput. This is purely down to the fact we can run on a lower spec server running Linux.

That is still the #1 reason I can see for *nix development -- the VM costs seem considerably lower than running a Windows VM.

Well ok, I confess. I wrote a few hundred lines of PHP. Actually enjoyed it.

LAMP = Linux, Apache, MySQL + PHP.
Personally, I'd avoid any stack invoking PHP like the plague.

It doesn't stop at MEAN though!
I've come across ANNE (Angular, Node.js, Neo4J, Express), BEANS (Bootstrap, Express, Angular, Node.js, Socket.io) and EARN (Express, Angular, Redis, Node.js) too!
Can't wait to see what they come up with next

Bootstrap, Angular, Cassandra, OrientJS, Node.js. Yumm!

Using the Orient driver with a Cassandra database? That doesn't even make any sense!

CoreOS and Docker, along with a group of industry leaders, are determined to create common standards for software containers through the Open Container Project (OCP). The OCP, housed under the Linux Foundation, is designed to provide a standard container format that will allow developers to develop container-based solutions without having to worry about a fragmented landscape.

You're late, it's been reported... ECMAScript 6 is officially a standard[^] 
BTW, they should scrap that "programming language". It's still a scripting language... don't make yourself bigger than you are!

wow, I was late. I even searched the message board first in an effort to not double-post. oh well.

Personally, I'm more excited about Web Assembly[^], precisely because it will enable other languages to be used for browser development. About ****ing time!

I thought that was interesting too. The odd thing about it is that one side is screaming "JavaScript will be everywhere -- client (browser) and server (node - blech). While this other side says, "uh, you can now write C/C++ programs which will run in the browser."
Sorry all you scripters, C/C++ is here!
