Would you mind fleshing out the "and less potential for error in node.js itself" part of your comment? I don't really understand what you mean. I get the impression that error handling in node is handled the same way as managing control flow - you're directly managing the continuation of every potentially blocking / failing event. Erlang's "let it crash" / distributed hierarchy of supervisors error-handling style is IMHO one of its most interesting characteristics; I can't see how it could be grafted on node.
