A comment on The switch: Python to Node.js.

I'd really like to see that spreadsheet, since there are many python frameworks other than twisted available. There are eventlets/greenlets, there's gevent, there's diesel and monocle for minimal things, etc. Makes you wonder what actually made them change the whole technology... Than again, they could probably even reuse pyjamas to still write node.js code in python...

OT: "We should of used SQLAlchemy. We should of built ..." I thought this expression was Bristol-specific. Apparently it's taking US too.

In the Southern US, at least, "should have" commonly gets shortened into "should've," which sounds sorta like "should of." That's still no excuse for writing it.

I don't know if you missed the link or if it was added later, but it's here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AvBGESHWxhk2dHJ...

It seems they looked at Gevent, Go, C++ and the JVM. As usual, no love for Haskell :(, not that they're entirely to blame there.

Too bad that the comparison doesn't make much sense: Node/Twisted/Gevent (language specific frameworks) vs Go/C++ (languages) vs JVM (platform).

It's not like (language specific framework + language) is that different from (language + built-in features + standard library).

Thanks, either I'm going crazy, or this wasn't a link before...

It's very obviously skewed to get Node.JS as a winner.
