> Isn't there something more exciting you can do with node.js? My goal for node is to push my apps client side. Once you go all the way client side, the server only needs to serve up the static application files so that I can have them application cached, to backup/distribute/contain the localStorage, and to act as a communication channel. Node has the potential to excel at the last two while remaining widely comprehensible since most developers can at least read javascript. I don't see the need for a django or rails on the platform, but I don't have a problem with the current major efforts of a database abstraction layer or simple DSLs like sinatra.
