I know I'm getting to be a broken record, but two different attempts at an SSH server, neither of which work? Every other thing on this list is a reimplementation of something in Python's standard library or Twisted.

I mean, yes, that's a lot of code to write, and I'm impressed, but this just feels like yet more reinvention of the wheel.



I think that's the point. Nodejs is a new technology and people are re-inventing all the Twisted (and other technologies like it) wheels so that you can use them from nodejs.


It's a Javascript interpreter/JITer/whatever. What is new about that?


It's a javascript environment that doesn't suck. Heyoooo!


Where would we all be today if we never improved on the first wheel?


JavaScript runs client side on the web. Python doesn't.
