Is Node.js a requirement?

I was taken aback when I learned that Node.js was an installation requirement for Amber. I hope this doesn't mean that Amber is tied to using Node on the back end. There are other web servers that I prefer to use, such as Seaside, web2py, and Beego. Thanks.

http://www.nodejs.org/ is a requirement for the most convenient way to
develop Amber apps at the moment.

However for deployment you may use other servers.

I let others give more details ....

Thanks, that's good to know. Perhaps someone can briefly outline how to use other servers? The paucity of Amber documentation leaves me in the dark. Thanks.

Re: Is Node.js a requirement?

For development, you're on your own (IOW: don't unless you _need_ to; if you must, make sure PUT works by writing the file).
For deployment, use server's docs (deployed amber is just a bunch of files, so it's only about serving them).

Re: Is Node.js a requirement?

I summarized this thread in
https://github.com/amber-smalltalk/amber-documentation/issues/35

Is the summary OK?
