The first post in this issue has a summary of some performance problems with node.js: https://github.com/ry/deno/issues/162 Though, it's posted in a confrontational way so the conversation deteriorates.
No, that thread is everything that is wrong with open source.
"And then there were people adding modules. I thought to myself, this projet is done now. So wrong." Seriously why are we as a community still entertaining those outlandish statements and attitudes? If you heard that sentence as a non-tech person, you'd swear modules is a computer virus or something, that it's so inherently bad that it's not even worth discussing. Props to Ryan for his amazing work, but come on let's…
when he said "this project is done now" my takeaway was that he didn't anticipate the popularity of node. and "so wrong" was him acknowledging that he was very obviously mistaken.

Yikes.
Also, calling everything a horrible miscarriage is not a discussion.
Pointing out the problems with something is easy. Anyone can do it. What's hard is evaluating problems in relation to the trade-offs that were made. Only amateurs think everything is "horrible" as if there are never trade-offs.
I agree with my sibling: it's only good example of worthless Github issue "conversation".

thanks for answering. but thanks to the parent comment i learned about a new (albiet widely recognized) author. thats useful because we all come to hn to learn things. i suspect most downvoters probably dont even understand the reference and just see a joke qua joke. boo.
I don't know how entertaining they are for adults, but I enjoyed reading Boy and Going Solo when I was younger.
Interesting that he had promises in node that early. Maybe if he kept them, the community wouldn’t had standardized on two space indents Edit: so two space indents weren’t a consequence of “callback hell” ?
for example, a lot of ruby i've seen (admittedly it's been a while) used two spaces, and i don't recall it being any more prone to deeply nested code than other languages.
that said js code tends to be rendered in a variety of other places like browser dev tools, which may influence this as well.

I don't think your comment is clear at all. Do you mean the "community" or (arbitrary) toolsets of open source?
