I'm sorely tempted to use node.js for a project I'm starting now, but my needs require 100% http/s support and its latest release just rebuilt its http/s support. Since a large portion of our solution is sitting on the browser in extensions, it would be nice to reduce our language footprint by one. If it were a year later, I have no doubt I would.

I wouldn't try to shoehorn SSL/TLS in as a requirement of whatever language/framework you do network stuff in--it's unlikely to be a great implementation, anyway. Just put nginx or stunnel in front of your service and go about your business. Both are fantastic proxies for high-load services. We use stunnel -> haproxy -> diesel/python at Bump... and we have a lot of users.
