With the few forks and stances that everyone is taking now, I really hope that an amazing project like Node doesn't get f* up by becoming fragmented and multiple different "versions" appearing.

sigh time to start looking into Go

  Or Dart. It's a lot closer to node and JS than Go (it uses asynchronous IO), and can more easily be used across both the server and client (Go's compilation-to-Javascript support is less developed). It's also surprisingly fast for a dynamic language, and has the generics Go lacks.

    Should also mention that Dart is faster than Node - it benefits from Google's development of V8, and the language design was built for optimization while taking a lot of the good parts from JS.

      V8 Turbofan using asm.js AOT that is in beta right now otherwise.

The most valuable piece that came out of the node project is libuv, and that is certainly not going away.
