The Node.js community is “completely feral”

I use node (or more correctly I use a small part of it via browserify) and while I like what it brings to the table (mostly the ability to sanely and somewhat cleanly import things in a way that works for me) I find stuff like this http://i.imgur.com/n92uG9J.jpg makes my head hurt.

I come from a desktop background originally and I still miss having large (mostly) complete and (mostly) stable standard libraries something I miss.

That and I'm never going to like JavaScript, it just doesn't fit my mental model well at all.

Awful article. This gives no concrete information about the Node.js community apart from the opinion that "they don't know what they're doing".

This is not a defense of Node.js in general but in defense of good journalism; not writing an entire click-bait article off the random thought of an CEO I've never heard of.

Such hype, such article
