I understand your point. I started out as an embedded systems C developer. There are actually huge parallels between embedded work and nodejs. One of the reasons is you can forget about all that nasty race condition stuff you get with threading in most high level languages. There are also no pointers or direct memory manipulation. Nodejs is pretty much asynchronous by design. I think it really is harder to “shoot yourself in the foot” than using the oldguard method of developing backend systems. Maybe this partly explains why it is at least plausible.
