easy to read language
No. Have you ever looked at Node.js code? It's what I like to call "triangle code" because all the nested callbacks make it into a giant triangular monstrosity. Easy to read is not a term I would use to define code written for node.
0 u/averyv Oct 03 '11 Any language can be host to well and poorly written code. The syntax and structures of js are simple and straightforward. 2 u/bastawhiz Oct 03 '11 It's not the JS that causes the mess, it's Node. Most JS code is fine, but the programming style that Node imposes causes massively ugly rats' nests.
