Ask HN: What are the correct usages of their, there, and they're?
their - possessive/ownership. "Their dog bit me!" "Their car is a mess!"
there - place/position. "Put the toys over there."
they're - contraction of "they are". "They are my best friends!" == "They're my best friends!"
Earlier quoted context omitted.
plurk switched back to java http://amix.dk/blog/post/19577
Plurk used Node for 8 months in production environment and they seemed overall pleased with the project. They also did their project on Node 0.1.33 and we are now at v. 0.4.8 so I'm sure while this post serves as a fair warning that it might not be perfect for any project, Node is still very good.
The best use case I can come up with is using node, socket.io, and knockout to quickly build a shared-state application (so long as there is a way to reconcile communication latency, which is why a declarative library like knockout is a good thing). I'm trying to come up with a good problem to solve with that tech stack for this year's Node Knockout.
In short, I agree, Node lends itself nicely to a particular subset of problems, but a lot of the places where it is presumed to shine (speed/real-time/code reuse) others are moving in to follow its lead.
