skimming node.js
I know I'm late to this, but maybe still early enough to have fun. This question, "
What are the benefits of developing in node.js versus Python?", on
Quora sent me off on a reading spree last night. Some of those links:
My excitement, of course, goes back to the
Newton and it's wonderful
NewtonScript development environment.
NewtonScript was one of the first follow-ons to the
Self language (evolving
Smalltalk) to take advantage of "instance-based object inheritance" (
prototypes) that javascript has now popularized. Great stuff, man. :)
I'm definitely excited to poke around in server-side javascript and a more async.-model programming style as well as seeing how the proto-inheritance idea would change system models in design. Fun stuff.
