Me - Lately, been working on Node.js, its fun.
Friend - Oh but it doesnt scale well, I hate that language.
Me - why do you think so? and its a VM, JS is the language.
Friend - Cos it doesnt scale, i heard from others.
Me - wut.

I fucking hate people who fucking blindly hate a technology / programming language.
Motherfuck, whats with these idiots blindly hating languages?
Every lang has its own use cases, why cant these twats understand that.

You use a tech as per needs, its not a fucking make-up.

node is built to scale, if you design the program right

Welcome to devRant! Great first rant. Some people make generalizations. Don't listen.
Use research, testing and input from people you respect. Otherwise, you may miss out on some great specialized tools. Good luck!

@Cruiser true, this applies for almost every tech out there. But some people are hell bent, when hating a tech.

@Jumpshot44 Thanks, yes but its so hard to find people around my workspace or friends circle, who understand the problem, this kinda blind judgement is the problem, and why a lot of devs get stuck and dont grow. I wish, i just wish they come out of it.

I call this the "golden hammer" issue. Most new devs can get really good at one language pretty fast but then they are insecure about all other languages. Thus the code they know is the golden hammer to every nail problem. They don't know any other tools in the tool box which is becoming a marketing issue for languages as everyone has an opinion. Also there seems to be a new language entering the market that is better faster harder... but really the same damn thing packaged up... it's an unforeseen war of adoption... rant over...

If someone complains about scalability the only right answer is that when the project became so fucking popular that exceeds the limits of the framework, the company could afford to hire ten times more developers to write it from scratch in every possible framework.

@peek4y Backend developer here. We have build a solution for a big insurance company, which has up to 6k parallel users at peaks. We used nodejs as this scales well both vertically and horizontally. After we did some penetration tests to numbers spoke for themselves. 10/10 would use again!
