Your comment suggests that you have a strong misunderstanding of the event loop concept. For example, that almost everything in Node is asynchronous, like in Go, is one of its best attributes. Compare that with the state of things in Java, Rust, Python, and most other languages if you decide you want to use the reactor pattern. If you don't want an event loop, then you don't use Node. But not blocking the event loop is not "religious." It's how they work.
