C. Aaron Cois (Carnegie Mellon University) Interview - OSCON 2014
summary
Node.js wins attention because JavaScript is already everywhere and its evented concurrency model fits services that must handle hundreds of thousands to millions of simultaneous clients; companies named as users include LinkedIn Uber Walmart. Core tools discussed are Node.js, the Express web framework (modeled on Sinatra by TJ Holowaychuk) and PayPal’s Express and Kraken ecosystem, alongside polyglot stacks (Python/Django, MongoDB, Redis). Practical advice: read open source code, start with small projects, pick the right language for each job.
