Has Node.js declined already?

Node.Js Development

It is being considered by some of the developers that node.js is something that might be the best and unique solution that can solve almost everything. It may be that other technologies can be more mature or mature to work for any specific projects. The near future of node.js appears as more to be the start of the same competition as on the client-side, than the start of decline. It is somewhat painful at start, but the client side JavaScript / HTML 5 competition has been very productive in innovation & performances. Node.js developers are the expert who use to continuously work for projects and development, which indicates that the decline is too far.

The decline of Node.js

1. CommonJS work has stopped unfortunately, but there is availability of Node.js Foundation which is already on board representatives from: IBM, SAP, Joyent, Microsoft, PayPal, GoDaddy, Groupon, Intel, Digital Ocean and many more. As this has led to a foundation, in future Mozilla, Oracle, Chrome and Apple may ultimately join them.

2. Enterprise JS coalition is being supported by Adobe. The Node.js foundation has become a Linux Foundation Collaborative Project. The job trend is almost non-existent as compared to other one. In a more clear way, Node.js is fairly starting to rise up.

3.  Node.js may appear in the future with lots of changes, but they would also result in great enhancement for the whole community. So, it is growing maturely to higher level. There should not be any confusion between “declining” and “not growing too fast” observed from the condition of Node.js. it may be the fastest growing platform ever.

4.  Node.js has stood beyond expectations and most of the major technology companies have at least some amount of Node.js running in their stack. By all measures, Node.js has been a great success and has become a top language on job request. It is just quite popular but it is surely not declining. It is more promising and great for asynchronicity and not concurrency.

5.  This platform is superb for single-user applications (such as web apps, games, command line tool) but not for bigger backends. There are both positives and negatives to Node.js but it doesn’t mean it is declining.

6.   As people try to use Node in real enterprise scenarios, there is now an element of attempting to “reinvent the wheel”, by adding package upon package to patch on functionality that already exists in Java, .Net, Ruby and PHP to some extent.

Node.Js is progressing slowly but it is surely not declining. It has a number of applications and language support, mostly for single user based. It is more promising and fairly rising with bigger steps on development. It is already been to a great success and so there may not arise any question regarding decline.
