Recently I claimed that I would go full FE. Since I’ve been working on couple projects utilizing Backbone/Marionette, I realized that it’s about time for me to go full JavaScript even for BE using nodejs.
To be honest, I did not use nodejs much except running nodejs via forever and some hello world type apps. However, I’m planning to use javascript for everything as much as possible. Reasons are:
- Community seems to be there to support you
- One scripting language for FE/BE
- Data transport over HTTP is done using JSON mostly
- Many 3rd party Rest APIs support JSON
- Performance got much much better
So that means, I will dig up build process, deployment process, and CI for Javascript sooner or later, which I’m happy to investigate.
