I agree. It seems like a maintainability issue. I can't imagine anyone familiar enough with DNS to contribute has experience working with Node.

Maybe I'm wrong...

While I agree with the "why!? Node" sentiment of parent, you'd be wrong with this extension. Myself as well as a few friends (who have extensive history with DNS at both a sysadmin and developer level) disprove the theory that there's no overlap in the two skill sets.

I would never contribute to a JS project, but it is the most used language in the world. Which language would you expect to have more overlap than the most used language in the world?

It is NOT the most used: http://www.tiobe.com/tiobe_index

Java is number one, still. Like six years running at least. JavaScript is somewhere between 4-8 depending on the survey you look at.
