The glorified text field was refering to no type system that protects you. Unit test are no replacement for a type system.

Node is slow. I did a few benchmarks before choosing my Stack and node was the slowest of them. My Haskell server could handle twice as many clients before maxing out my test rig.

Js is not a breeze, it's horrible. The express API is the worst API i have ever seen. I would never even consider node for anything more than a prototype.

Nodejs is awesome if you REALLY KNOW nodejs. So is anything else you REALLY KNOW...
