I think the extremely fast startup time of a container running node was crucial to the order of magnitude change I mentioned.
-
You could have done it with PHP but as you say JS (and node) are more popular with the up-stack devs this appeals to.
-
i think the time to market for a serverless JS offering is also just way shorter, because of status of embedding hooks as 1st class citizens
-
I don't understand this argument.
-
i just think JS was the prime language to pioneer the serverless space, all the way from the implementation to the community
-
In contrast, I think "serverless" as a term means"JavaScript" so this claim is tautological.
-
I don’t understand why you would say this.

Trying to explain "serverless" as new obscures the simple fact that millions of developers who know jQuery can write backend logic.
-
The same thing that made Node popular, but with the added benefit of getting back to the ease of ops that PHP had a decade ago.
-
That is a very insightful observation.

Aw shucks.

1. How tf is JS empowering? 2. Why can't JS just die already? 3. Can we kill whoever invented full stack JS?

1. Lots of available APIs and source snippets of code to work with w/o needing to be wildly experienced 2. Language isn’t innately evil 3.pic.twitter.com/BzcoQtXyMW

1. I always consider JS infuriating, not empowering. 2. Sure it is. 3.pic.twitter.com/Rp7yu4QOOL

1. You’ve probably been fortunate enough to have (nicer) options 2. Good programming is not language-dependent, it’s design-dependent 3.pic.twitter.com/tGgFJsfj1T

Tbh I don't really do programming. The reason I hate JS is bc when debugging websites 99% of the time it's some stupid JS issue.

Now I feel less crazy for coming to the same conclusion when I researched the term to try and figure out what the big deal was with it.
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

i’d say it’s explained more by the economics/capitalism of it being convenient and cost-effective for hosts
-
you could also build a serverless offering very easily around Lua but the community/demand isn’t there
