As someone who's been emphatically trying to make this case for a while, I'm a little disappointed. There are a number of good points, but the bulk of the article is just a rehash of open-source trends and job posting data. I was hoping for a more in-depth analysis of the tradeoffs, data on productivity increases, etc. I'm not sure popularity figures will be very compelling to the entrenched interests. And the article fails to mention the single biggest feature of server-side JavaScript development: the ability to write isomorphic code that runs the app on both client and server. No more duplication of development and maintenance effort, writing business logic in both JavaScript and some heavy traditional language. Once and only once FTW!
