Node.JS is great when you simply need to move bits from disk onto the network with minimal processing in between and your app is otherwise I/O bound. This is what gives Node.JS its superficial appeal. The trouble comes when you need to write anything of complexity and you find yourself in callback hell and your code becomes difficult to reason about at an unreasonable rate. This makes adding new features to any large code base a ghastly nightmare. JavaScript is also a really shitty, poorly conceived language with cruft galore, and this compounds the hell of event-driven programming. I dropped Node.JS because it made me hate programming.
