Being 'interesting tech' is a pretty good reason to experiment/learn something in my book. But besides that:
- You get to write JavaScript on your back-end and your front-end.
- It's evented (like Twisted, EventMachine, etc) which has proven popular/robust/fast recently (think FriendFeed).
- It handles insane amounts of requests/second (due to non-blocking IO and V8 awesomeness among other things).
- Did I mention you get to write more JavaScript? :)
- It makes it pretty easy to implement servers for other protocols than just straight vanilla http -- for example WebSockets implementations and so on.
