After reading all the posts in this thread I found another thing that is fascinating with node: The community It feels like Rails in its beginning—so many talented folks providing great solutions. Just check Express and related npms like Jade, Stylus, etc. They look like similar Ruby gems but if you look into the details you see people that go further and pushes the boundaries. Some examples: just check how beautiful designed the Express error messages are—nothing crucial but it feels good working with people who are passionate. Or check how lean Stylus is compared to SASS, LESS, SCSS or how Jade goes beyond HAML with mixins etc. It's hard for me to articulate this enthusiasm I have with node but as much as I appreciate the Rails world I don't feel passionate with Rails anymore (it feels like my Cobol class in university).
