While I agree that node is interesting, this article is little more than blogspam. A better introduction is here: http://www.nakedjavascript.com/going-evented-with-nodejs

thanks for the compliment!

Wow. This could come in handy for the already insane javascript, canvas, html5 space shooting game I am working on, especially if it is high performance.

My employer have insane plans of making an open source MMO that's a hybird of EVE Online and Subspace that start with my game as a prototype.

Seriously, I must have the best programming job, ever!

Anyone able to comment on how it compares with Joyent's smart platform, http://becoming.smart.joyent.com/index.html?

I'd love to build up a nice little web framework with node.js, maybe using some of the work from v8cgi.

Please look through the mailing list and github. There are at least 5 of these in the works. Off the top of my head: express, vroom, gateway, node-router.

Cool - it was just a "thought". Would love to contribute to something already started.

have you checked out express? Its not fully baked yet, in fact I am working on a fork that uses mustache.js for the rendering. Express puts a nice "sinatra"-esque DSL on top of node.js

Contrary to the article, I don't think node.js uses Python at all. (Apart from the build system.)
