As an old SA and systems programmer my exposure to 'js everywhere' (node + angular -w- nosql backend) has convinced me that it's best left to hobbyists and experimenters. The same kind of folks that liked the gentoo linux distribution. If you can make your business run with js front to back good for you. I don't want the pain.

Javascript + the node paradigm is such a bad systems approach that I've never even bothered dealing with learning it to any extent. One look at an async waterfall and nested callbacks + libuv 'transparently' handling blocking routines was enough for me.
