Shawn WebbI really wish people would stop writing what could be useful projects in #NodeJS.
Marcin Cieślak@lattera why?
1. I wish a horrible death upon Javascript
2. NodeJS creates RWX memory mappings
3. npm is crap. I only want to use my system package manager.
@lattera 3. is true. We have yarn now :)
2. That's a valid issue, is it V8 or libuv?
1. I am not a fan either, but at least I can program functionally in it.
I think that node is a great invention, not because of Javascript (with they picked up something else), but that little async + libuv thing is simply great (ofcourse #erlang guys would have said "I told you so long time ago).
@lattera but the real reason it will be growing in the future is that it took me less than 40 hours to build a working OAuth2 provider (meh) connected to some banking API - just had to glue existing small modules. The granularity level is getting almost right there.
@lattera Regarding (3) system package manager - those current managers build a per-app tree of dependencies, avoiding thus the #DLLhell when incompatible APIs are introduced. I don't think current pkg managers are ready for this (multiple versions of the "same" installed in different places). Would love a see a solution though ($LOCALBASE changing like crazy?)
@lattera that's is not the same. You cannot patch ruby's or node's `require()` to magically look the same name somewhere else based on the system pkg manager imagination.
@saper Another reason for Node's death. ;)
@lattera no. I have used flavors (slots) in #Gentoo and this is a dead end. What bundler and composer are doing (local "vendor" directory) or node pkg managers (local "node_modules") is right.
This discussion will lose its significance as we will move to per-app filesystem layouts. Sadly https://github.com/3ofcoins/jetpack development stalled.
@lattera (2) can you produce a backtrace (with -g) of node mapping RWX?
saperhttps://chromium.googlesource.com/v8/v8.git/+/master/src/x64/code-stubs-x64.cc (and others)
V8 generates code on the fly. What now?
