Not anytime soon. Java is pretty entrenched on the server side of things: There are libraries for every possible use case and more importantly for accessing almost every weird legacy system you can imagine. Those libraries likely will never be ported to Node.js. I'm talking fun stuff here such as AS400 socket services using white-space delimited payload or file-based DB2/AS400 databases. Porting those to Node.js simply makes no sense because those systems are the definition of legacy. However, they're not going anywhere anytime soon.
That said, Node.js already has a foothold on the client side. AngularJS currently is the most widely used front end framework and relies heavily on Node.js-based tooling.
