> A lot of the cool features that are being touted in the NodeJS frameworks have been already done elsewhere for much longer. Are you including Derby.js and Meteor.js in this? The main example the article uses is the way these frameworks seamlessly sync to your datastore and other clients, and the server is running the same code so you don't have to write almost any boilerplate to do this. This seems like a unique property of running javascript on server and browser, and I don't know of anything in Python/Ruby/Java that even tries to do this. It seems like it would inevitably be more complicated and require duplication of code. Unless you had a framework that compiled your model and view code from one of these languages to or from javascript (which I've always thought would be cool but now seems like a worse solution than Meteor or Derby)
