What's the ratio of node.js web frameworks to sites that actually use them?

[netghost]

100:0 From what I can tell, but that being said, they're all coalescing into something interesting.

[cmelbye]

Exactly what I'm thinking also. There are a plethora of frameworks, but they all bring something cool to the table. I'm still wondering how viable it is for web development, however (just because of how it hasn't really caught on yet while having many chances to.)

I think it hasn't caught on yet because there's no (last time I was around anyway) solid, decent, recommended deployment strategies.

It was once suggested to me on IRC to use only one instance of a node app because it's "non-blocking"... I'm serious: "why would you need more than one?".

Obviously you can deploy well enough using a monitoring app to keep up as many workers as you want, but compared to stuff like passenger it's just not mature enough.

I use nodewiki [http://github.com/gjritter/nodewiki/] and nerve [http://github.com/gjritter/nerve/] to power my personal wiki/mindmap sites, and I'm also using node to power the backend of a site that should go public very soon.
