node.js vs Python with Greenlets (say gevent)

I don't get why node.js is being so hyped.
Sure, the idea of writing things in JavaScript both on the client and server-side is really nice.
And JavaScript really fit an event-driven environment with its browser heritage.

But why on earth is boomerang code so appealing to write? I don't get. Am I missing something obvious?
All examples of node.js I see are littered with callbacks yet Ryan Dahl thinks coroutines suck. It doesn't add up for me.

My script for pair sessions on my box.

What it does

• downloads the appropriate ssh keys from github
• copies the appropriate 'ssh pair@your-external-ip' command to your clipboard (see Note #1)
• sets up the tmux session
• cleans up the session, and the keys after it's done

How to use

#!/bin/bash

# Like the 'aws' cli except caches results

# Downloading Oracle JVM without browser

Oracle requires you to accept its licence agreement before downloading its JVM.

I used Firefox and Firebug to sniff network exchanges.
