| Pros | |
| ----- | |
| * async programming, fast | |
| * MongoDB JSON to Node win -- avoid middle translation layers | |
| * Regex allowed in URL routes (Flask doesn't allow regex) | |
| * Node plugins for just about everything (MongoDB, redis, etc.) | |
| * node cluster makes scaling relatively painless | |
| * node specific async features (socket.io, event emitters, etc.) are nice -- the WSGI layer doesn't allow sockets, etc. | |
| * Wide usage -- 37Signals, eBay, Heroku, rdio, yahoo (https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Projects,-Applications,-and-Companies-Using-Node) | |
| * Re-use existing third-party JS utils (validation, etc.) | |
| Cons | |
| ----- | |
