I'm a node newb and I don't know enough to make my own judgments between various (generally very professionally written) frameworks/libs. I rely on the wisdom of the community and generally my first step in researching a solution is to search github and order by most stars. I then google to be sure or search the mailing list, which is how I got here. I want to find and use tools that embody the spirit of Node, that most people use, that stay as close to the metal as possible, and with minimum abstractions to get what I need done. The answer I was unequivocally looking for is to use asynch - regardless of whether it's the best or not.
I ended up reading a lot of Bruno's Ramblings (that's the name of his blog), and a lot about streamline, and it's clear that Bruno's not only hyper-intelligent but an excellent communicator. Streamline seems really cool, but it's way more than an asynch tool, and an entire paradigm shift on how to write node. One that would be irresponsible of me to take on before learning the fundamentals of pure Node, and especially to solve a localized asynch issue. I don't mean to pick on Bruno, especially since all he did was give a simple suggestion several replies below the original post, but he just happens to be really good and prolific at making his case, and if a side had to be chosen I think Mikeal's philosophy on how to answer these non-sophisticated, clearly newb questions is spot on. That aside, is there a resource somewhere that lists the most popular libs by useful categories? Something like: Web App Framework: express Flow Control: asynch Templating: xxx etc. I would love to see a "Mikeal's List" page maintained somewhere.
