Unfortunately, I think node.js is still lacking in a lot of regards that a brief spurt of "willy-nilly" commits (plus some dictatorship-style thoughtfulness) would help. Many of the builtin modules are still "beta" and even core stable ones lack some features that require using unsupported/undocumented properties (it is not even clear why some of it is undocumented). I use node.js in production so I'm not knocking it outright but you quickly understand the plights if you try to do anything with node that scales well.
