If only a group of more than 5 developers were enthusiastic about the same thing! Your enthusiasm for node is another persons pain. I've got 1 coder enthusiastic about node, another for clojure, and another for scala. Should every project be a different language and ecosystem? What happens when programmers move around in an organization. "I think part of node's mass appeal is that it has introduced an element of simplicity to a generation of developers who have grown up around bloat." Who are you talking about? Right now I'm dealing with a generation of programmers that came up on ruby. Node isn't simpler than sinatra. In fact, we just tried to use node for a "small and non-critical part of your architecture". You know what happened? It took much much longer to finish because it needed to talk to an API that uses digest authentication and node's http library doesn't support that so we had to roll our own.
