I still don't get it that you would like to write in an inferior language such as js on the server side. Cm'on its broken by design. There are a lot of better alternatives.

The only reason to use .js on the serverside is that you don't know better.




To a degree I agree with you but I'm downvoting for the trollish and inflammatory way you phrased your comment.

However - there are lots of reasons to use javascript on the server even if we accept there are superior languages.


Can you please name some of those reasons?


The main one is the ability to reuse code on server and client. It's not something to be sniffed at.
