Here is some Node.js anti-hype:
if (typeof my_var !== "undefined" && my_var !== null) {
// you idiots put Rasmus Lerdorf to shame
} if(my_var != null) {
}I'm no fan of javascript, but I'm also no fan of internet tough-guys who think that throwing a few "fucking"s and "butthurt"s into their prose makes them seem like anything other than bullies. The only thing I take away from that criticism of node is that Ted Dziuba is an awful person.
