Comment on An open question (rant) about Node.jsparent

Comments

Any experienced, systems developer, regardless of language, would never think that was a good thing.

I don't know about node, but it's certainly the Erlang way of doing things. You let the process die and leave a supervisor to deal with the problem.

With the crucial difference that in Erlang, the thing that dies is extremely fine-grained, while in Node it's the entire server. In other words, this is far from the Erlang way of doing things.
