"Just to put that growth rate in perspective: this is 70 times the number of sites that switch to Node.js, another fast-growing web server."

I find it hard to believe this could be accurate considering the vast majority of Node.js deployments are also utilizing Nginx as a reverse-proxy in front of it. I think a large portion of nginx's uptake is actually due to Node.js' popularity.

I put go & node behind nginx, so how does that count similar?
