LAMP = Linux, Apache, MySQL + PHP. Personally, I'd avoid any stack invoking PHP like the plague.

Bootstrap, Angular, Cassandra, OrientJS, Node.js. Yumm!

[Sander Rossel]

Using the Orient driver with a Cassandra database? That doesn't even make any sense! :laugh:

Angular - might look at it once Google finishes rewriting it. Node.js - refuse to touch it. It's Javascript

Node with Typescript is a huge amount of fun.

Well now, there's an idea. I just don't see writing something like a web server in a scripted language though. Sure, for a test jig, great, but do people really use Node for production servers? Marc

Err, yes. I've got a fairly large scale app running on Node with the business logic all written in TypeScript. It's less processor intensive than running it on an IIS rig so that was a big incentive for me.

[Marc Clifton]

Interesting! Gah, I try to avoid IIS. I ended up writing my own web server that could sit under IIS, but there's no need to. Marc

I managed to reduce running costs to about 45% of the IIS costs, keeping a similar throughput. This is purely down to the fact we can run on a lower spec server running Linux.

That is still the #1 reason I can see for *nix development -- the VM costs seem considerably lower than running a Windows VM. Marc

I was just confused about the fact that you seem open to working with Angular (a Javascript-based framework) at some point, but you reject node.js because it's Javascript. Is it javscript on the server that bothers you, and you're fine with it on the client?

Yes. Javascript on the client is a necessary evil I can't do anything about except perhaps use Dart or TypeScript. Marc

Gotcha. That I can understand. I was squeamish about js on the server myself until I started playing around w/ node.
