Naming is hard to do well, almost as hard as designing good software in the first place. Take for instance the term ‘node’ which depending on the context can mean<\/p>\n

  1. A\u00c2\u00a0fundamental\u00c2\u00a0unit of the DOM (Document Object Model) used in creating rich HTML5 applications.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. A basic unit of the Semantic Web–a thing you can say stuff about. Some nodes are even unlabeled, and hence ‘blank nodes’.<\/li>\n
  3. In operations, a node means, roughly, a machine on the network. E.g. “sixteen-node cluster”<\/li>\n
  4. A software library<\/a> for event-driven, asynchronous development with JavaScript.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    I find myself at the forefront of a growing chorus of software architects and API designers that are fed up with this\u00c2\u00a0overloading\u00c2\u00a0of a perfectly good term. So I’m happy today to\u00c2\u00a0announce\u00c2\u00a0node-node:node.node.<\/p>\n

    The system is still in pre-alpha, but it solves all of the most pressing problems that software developers routinely run in to. In this framework, every node represents a node, for the ultimate in scalable distributed document storage. In addition, every node additionally serves as a node, which provides just enough context to make open-world assumption metadata assertions at node-node-level granularity. Using the power of Node, every node modeled as a node has instant access to other node-node:nodes. The network really is the computer. You may never write a program the old way again.
