I don't know about Node, but I know it's perfectly possible to write "proper" multi threaded programs in Perl (and has always been since the version string started reporting support for threads, which should be a good 15 years ago).
It's not terribly relevant to the article (because you normally don't write multi threaded programs in Python), but then why bring it up?
