Is Nodejs going to die out?

Question

Node.js

Good day.
I saw an article on Habré m.habrahabr.ru/post/245013
Is it really worth forgetting about the node? And immediately switch to io.js? What is your opinion on this?
I will be glad to your every word :)

Answer 1

After io.js comes megabest.js, ultrahack.rb, newline.py, etc. Super trendy and having regular "breakthrough" killer features, the cycle is endless. Have time to create something liquid in between) Technologies are born and die.

Answer 2

My personal opinion: it is not yet known exactly how the policy inside node.js will change, and it is also unknown how well io.js will take off. Maybe some of them will cease to exist in the near future for one reason or another. I would refrain from using either technology for the time being, especially since I don't see any tasks in my near future that could not be solved without node.js/io.js.

Answer 3

It will not die out, it will be reborn)
I assume that the release of io.js should speed up the development of node.js due to increased competition. Joyent are not so stupid (I hope) to just allow themselves to be removed from the leading position of the developer of the server-side JS environment. Additionally, node.js 0.12 is rumored to be out this month or early next year.
Now it is difficult to predict something, you need to wait for the release of io.js and then think about it.

Answer 4

Why NodeJs? use erlang!
