FRAMEWORK (shitty tragedy in one act) Dramatis Personae PROGRAMMER, programmer HIPSTER, hipster * * * ACT I Small room. There are a table with paper stacks, opened "Perrier" bottle, two huge monitors and a programmer sitting behind. Programmer reads papers, looks on first monitor, then on second and typing something. From time to time he says "damn idiots". Number of "damn idiots" is divided equally between papers, f…

I don't see the reason why would you apologise for your english when you use the words like 'Exeunt' ... Otherwise good joke.

Probably because the author was compelled to choose his words wisely to comply with forum policies. In essence "damn idiots" is a toned down version of something far more expressive.

So this is a repo that is being cloned on your computer [1]. I have a couple of questions : 1. Why not just creating yeoman generator? 2. Don't you think it is too opinionated and inflexible to be useful? 1: https://github.com/Hashnode/mern-cli/blob/master/lib/main.js

I much rather clone than use yeoman. What is the benefit?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Mongo is often quick to get people started and simple to work with. No migrations, or joins, etc. etc. It's not for every project, but quite nice for prototyping.

Except people have bad tendency to not throw out prototypes and are unwilling to do the work to deal with bad decisions from the prototype time...

That sentence should be written someplace where everyone can see it everytime a project starts.

FWIW 'isomorphic javascript' was pretty much supplanted by 'universal javascript' last year per this medium post [1]. You might consider changing the copy. Edit: At the very least Dan Abramov (Redux creator) is ok with universal [2] [1] https://medium.com/@mjackson/universal-javascript-4761051b7a...

FWIW those of us in the JavaScript community who don't care to create buzzwords for everything call it JavaScript. No Isomorphic, no Universal. There's nothing different. It's just JavaScript.

This was a really bad time to post this framework, the disillusionment for javascript is at an all time high right now.

That being said why Mongodb? NoSql are advantageous for write speeds, which as far as I know isn't particularly important for new applications. I understand that you want "javascript everywhere" but is that really worth the cost of losing the speedy and convenient join statements? I think postgres might have been a better choice.

Can be worthwhile if you take advantage of embedded documents. Storing your data in the same form that you use it in your application, can at appropriate times be very helpful. I recently started using an ORM that does not support embedded documents when using Mongo and found I essentially had all of the problems of a NoSQL DB with none of the advantages.

I can't say if they considered other databases, but "MERN" is a play on "MEAN" (Mongo, Express, Angular, Node) -- I imagine they were aiming for a React-centric version of the popular MEAN stack.

FWIW no it wasn't. Everyone (everyone who javascripts anyways) already knows what "isomorphic javascript" means, and "Universal" is a fucking terrible name for what it is being applied to (it sounds like it is translated into all languages, or runs equally on Windows and Macs, or who knows, it's made for aliens or something).
