You are right. node is a i/o framework. And because of that you can write easily servers, like http servers. Which you did. And Django is also a framework. But

You are right. node is a i/o framework. And because of that you can write easily servers, like http servers. Which you did. And Django is also a framework. But not for handling i/o requests or writing arbitrary network programs but for writing web applications. But comparing a web application framework with an i/o framework and an http server is comparing apples and oranges. Both are fruits but thats it. But comparing node with django, where the request is handled by another server like nginx/lighty/apache feels somehow really wrong. tl;dr don't just compare two things because both are a framework.
