Shubhra Kar of StrongLoop talks to Jeff Meyerson about
Node.js. Node allows for server-side JavaScript. Shubra and Jeff
explore why Node is so important from three standpoints:
isomorphic JavaScript, the single-threaded-concurrency model, and
the "API economy." Isomorphic JavaScript apps have their own
control and viewing logic, but they share the state and
specification of the models between client and server. Node's
single-threaded event loop concurrency model is ideal for Web
programming, where time is traditionally wasted while waiting on
I/O. The API economy is dominated by JSON (JavaScript Object
Notation), which Node treats as the first-class data model.
Shubhra also discusses the changing landscape of the
client-server model in a conversation about Browserify, which
creates a directory structure in the browser, allowing for
conflict management between client and server. Other topics
discussed include MongoDB, model-driven development, and V8.
