140 char limit sucks
Node.js matters because:
- JS programmers now have access to their language on the server (ignoring Netscape server for a minute).
- concurrent programming is the hot topic "du jour" and languages that embrace events like JS make for a good mix with this topic "du jour"
- Node.js is faster than Ruby yet still very expressive
- JS has a good chance to become the lingua franca for programmers much like PHP is for the web today.
