Re: IBM announces new language environment - Node.js for i

you can have a single language syntax for both your front and backends.

Last night I spent a couple hours reviewing content in various Node.js
tutorials on the Internet and felt quite at ease, due mostly to my
experience with JavaScript in the browser.

Even concepts like registering events with references to call-back
functions in connection with asynchronous I/O was familiar due to my prior
use of AJAX.

But even if you were to use JavaScript for both front-end and back-end
development, I still think is makes most sense to have a node.js back-end
evoke RPG code, perhaps through stored procedures or triggers or services
waiting on the other side of a data queue.

And the support for native interfaces in node.js for i is what makes it
even more appealing to me.
