Hi Henrik,

Very interesting find! I wouldn't have thought Node.js was that far along
in their modules.

One thing the author of that site misses is scrutiny of modules. For
example, npm mkdirp** is a module in Node.js but is built into the base
Ruby runtime***. So an apples-to-apples comparison won't work unless
somebody wants to go to the effort of fully dissecting those results.


**https://www.npmjs.org/package/mkdirp
***

My comparison of Ruby and Node was just to explain how fast technologies
changes today. It is a fact that there today are more plugins to node
(npm’s) that there are to Ruby (gem’s) and node is accelerating more that
Ruby, Python and Java combined. (http://www.modulecounts.com/ )
