So far we’ve had lots of great feedback from the Node.js community-please keep your feedback coming to our Director of. From our recent conversations with both communities and existing customers, we can attest that indeed the use of Node.js is becoming more and more widespread within enterprises. Companies like PayPal, Netflix, Uber, Wells Fargo and Intuit have already embraced Node within a variety of their development teams, and a wide range of developers across all industries already use Node for server-side and web development, microservices/APIs, streaming applications, and more.Īccording to the April 2016 Node.js Foundation Survey, “With over 3.5 million users and an annual growth rate of 100 percent, Node.js is emerging as a universal platform used for web applications, IoT, and enterprise.” They released a great infographic that also depicts that of those surveyed, 90% of use it for web app development, and 42% use it for enterprise development. Node.js has been embraced for development of apps that will run JavaScript on both the server and client side, but there’s more to it than meets the eye. ![]() ![]() We’re here to grow and support the language as it expands its reach, and give back to the community where we can. Node.js definitely fits that criteria, and although it’s not “the new kid on the block” it is becoming more integral to more companies and projects daily. When we set out to decide what languages to add to our language distribution offering, we kept a series of criteria in mind: the languages had to be truly open source, have an active community with ongoing releases, and high growth rate (among others). These languages will be in addition to our already-popular ActivePerl, ActivePython, ActiveTcl, and Komodo IDE offerings. We’ve renewed our focus on open source languages, support, and we’ve announced we’ll be building ActiveRuby™, ActiveNode™, ActiveLua™ and ActiveGo™ in 2017. And, this is my final of four posts outlining why we chose the languages we are adding to our offering hopefully it will help readers understand why we truly are THE Open Source Languages Company. ![]() It’s been almost a month since we announced our plans to be “The Open Source Languages Company” and add four new language distributions to our stack.
