Video of my Meet.js Summit talk is finally online, so if you missed please let me know what you think about it.
I have learned a lot from feedback at the conference and I have heard some great comments that I feel add a lot of value to my talk.
Important message from @krzychukula: Learn the language well and don't expect frameworks be solution for your laziness #meetjs16
First, I really like the tweet by Mariusz Nowak. That's something that I haven't mention in the talk because I have assumed that people would do that before going for frameworks. Only when I've seen this tweet I've realized that it's not always the case and I should have emphasized that before moving to new tools and frameworks.
I have advised people to use Editors instead of IDEs but many people told me later that they don't want to miss on refactorings and all the ease of use they provide. To me that was the exact reason why I want to work without them. Later at the conference Michał Płachta he told me why he is using Atom editor himself instead of IDE. It's really easy to 'refactor' 30 places in your code without seeing them, and IDEs make it really easy but can you really know if your change fits nicely in those places? Is your refactoring improving one place you're looking at and making 29 others unreadable mess? If you use editor you have to go to every of those places and sometimes while doing that he realizes that his initial idea wasn't really good. I really like his example, thanks Michał!
All in all, it was great to be there and I want to thanks organizers for accepting my talk!
If you have any good feedback please let me know in the comments.
Node Web Development by David Herron is book written for those who want to start using Node.js for real Web Applications. Book is short and written for purpose of practical examples. Of course if it will be longer it would be even better but this is very good starting point for learning Node.js. Book is rather short, and to be honest when I sow it I was thinking: This is too short! But just after first chapter I realize that maybe short, but chapters are full of examples and explanations. I was impressed how reading it changed my opinion. Tips for other readers: Use Node.js from 0.4 tree, mostly because of modules, most of them are not ported yet to 0.5. If You want to create apps as fast as possible read chapter 5 at the end (except of those that want to use HTTPClient) Install Databases before installing npm modules.

This is helloworld spped test... so it shows nothing about speed other than mentioned in comments. For all that doesn't like my test: For me it shows how small applications can work and if they are smart enough to ignore dummy code :) I've figured it after reading comments. Summary: Java is slow, Scala works probably the same but starts longer. Groovy is slower. Groovy++ - maybe some day I will have time to test it. I read about Groovy and Scala, both languages are interesting. Groovy is easier and have much better support, it is like heaven and hell when you compare Scala and Groovy support (Intelli IDEA is only one that works for me... but I think that when I install in Eclipse Groovy plugin it breakes Scala support, Groovy and Scala are fighting in my computer and when one works second breaks, but it is only for me). I like Groovy but i read about how slow it is, lets write veeery simple test and check it: Scala: object Sample{ def main(args: Arr...
