>it looks like Node.JS is only being used for analytics and chat applications is that all it is capable of or are people not fully using the power of Node? Node is still immature, so it makes sense to use it in spite of the relative roughness only when it has a distinct advantage over other available technologies. Its ecosystem has also streamlined the building of server-push apps. You can use node/express in lieu of rails or django, but it doesn't offer anything particularly interesting here. Analytics and chat apps tend to be built on persistent servers that have long-running stateful sessions, which the node ecosystem has focused on making easy... you could use EM or Twisted or Netty, but they aren't as shiny / low barrier to entry. So, we are seeing people take advantage of the comparable strengths of a new technology that makes certain apps easier to build.
