Although the ideas and technology behind node.js aren't entirely new, the fusion of a well known client side language like Javascript and a robust server-side event based architecture really makes node.js great. I really enjoyed the article because it approached node.js as it should have, as the new way of doing things on the server. I see node.js becoming as ubiquitous as ruby/python/perl are on the server (maybe even for desktop applications). Even if node.js doesn't become as big as I think it will, I feel that the shift is has helped cause is a positive one for the server space and we will all benefit from it.
