Presentation: Tweet"Why code in Node.js often gets rejected by SoundCloud"

Candidates can use whatever language they want, and over the past years we saw a massive rise on the number of submissions using server-side JavaScript. Unfortunately, too many submissions are asynchronous blobs of procedural code.
