Ask HN: What are the major benefits of learning Node.js?
The main reason I read everywhere is scaling, performance, etc.
Do you use Node.js? If so, what for?
I guess my problem is that I am so comfortable with HTML5/CSS3/jQuery and PHP/mySQL, that I find it hard to take the leap to learn all these new libraries and technologies. I have been able to do everything I need to do so far with the languages I know, so convince me why I should learn Node.js and other libraries. I mainly build Web Applications.
