Node was first released in 2009. That&amp;#x27;s not an entirely fair comparison since, of course, &lt;i&gt;JavaScript&lt;/i&gt; was created long before Node, but Node introduced the language to a new environment, and a lot of complications needed (and in some cases, still need) to be sorted out.&lt;p&gt;As for no recommend approach - that&amp;#x27;s deliberate. I don&amp;#x27;t think most people working on Node &lt;i&gt;want&lt;/i&gt; a Rails equivalent.</text><parent_chain><item><author>blowski</author><text>As somebody who uses Node only at the periphery of my role (for things like the Zombie browser, and SASS parsing) the massive instability has put me off from relying on it for anything core.&lt;p&gt;Documentation is quickly out of date, libraries seem to have incompatibilities which only become obvious when they don&amp;#x27;t work, there&amp;#x27;s no &amp;#x27;recommended&amp;#x27; approach for even basic tasks.&lt;p&gt;I won&amp;#x27;t pretend I&amp;#x27;m speaking for everyone, as clearly there are lots of people doing great things with Node.
