> That being said, I agree with most of the issues you raise. Lack of backwards compatibility, rapid changes in APIs and need to build from source make building webapps in Node more complicated than it needs to be. I think Node is on the precipice of being ready for primetime. There is quite obviously a groundswell of interest. I myself was screwing around with it last night trying to get Express, node and Mongoose to work and I couldn't figure it out with the docs I found (99% sure problem is on my end though). Since there is rapidly growing demand for documentation and examples, the community will work to fill that. I would be surprised if we make it another 6 months without someone really picking up the reins and taking the lead for community documentation. Who knows, maybe someone already has and I just haven't picked up on it yet?
