All you have to do is read his bio on his web page. It's the ultimate downer list. Of course (for him) Node is done - his life sounds like it's done. What a shame. Good thing we don't have a planet of people filled like him - hating on pretty much everything. If we did, we'd obviously never progress or any progression would come out of some negative act. Maybe he'll get over it in a few years? In the mean time, those…

You can't dispute a single FACT in the article, so you attack the AUTHOR instead! Obviously you've never even tried to create a web site with Node.js. If you did, you'd know it is DONE. Ev's technical skills are light years beyond any of you so-called programmers. Maybe in a few years, you'll realize he was right all along?

First of all, calm down a bit. Secondly, there aren't many facts in the article. It seems highly opinionated.

I'm not totally sure what the intention of this article is.

Is it to deter people away from using node as an application platform? Is it to deter people away from web programming in general? Is it to deter people away from using Macs?

In each case no hard evidence is given. Just a lot of baseless opinions.

I don't think this article is appropriate for HN. I didn't learn anything useful from this. If it was meant to be an opinion piece to influence how programmers think, it wasn't done very tastefully. What this article does best is reflect the immaturity of its author.

As far as the node project being over, I don't think that's true. There are surely IO scheduler optimizations that could be made ala http://haskell.cs.yale.edu/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/hask03.... The speed of JS code could always be improved. The HTTP standard is currently evolving and those changes will need to be made. There are probably other examples I'm failing to list.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Everything is done. It's all done. Shut it all down.

What about go? Thats pretty new right? Maybe I have to wait a year then read HN. Then it will probably be done.

The name is way too clever. I give it two more weeks.
