## Source excerpt

I'd like to know what the deal is with these new hipster developers, as I like to call them. You know, those guys who adore those new languages and frameworks until they start catching on. I mean, you have to respect them for putting in that initial work to bring technology forward, but eventually they just become a headache. Honestly, does node even have a chance of being a truly scalable solution?
