node js hipsters bother me...Not every problem is solved with javascript!!!!

Sure it is, or at least it should be!

Have you been on npm? There is probably already a library for it. Not matter what it is.

It's Turing complete as a language, any solution that can be expressed in any other language can be expressed in JavaScript.

<script src="solution.js"></script>

I like nodejs and npm when there are smaller chances for exceptions, smaller scope. You really can find anything on npm. For everything else, including a quick dev backend, theirs django. That seems to be my current strategy.

Side note: I do die a little on the inside when I have to go back to PHP for a project.

@avstuff how do you work with django and nodejs simultaneously? I mean I either go with node/express or django on back wouldnt know how or why should I use both. Thanks mate

@caroso1222 I meant either node or django. Not both. It is much easier, for me, to use django's models and orm to quickly get a backend up and running for front-ends that consume JSON than it is for me to do the same task in Express w/sequelize. But I enjoy writing JS more than python.
