This feels like deja vu, except that I can remember that we've heard all this before. Still waiting since 2008 or so for Ruby and Rails to eat Java's lunch.

I have no problem with Ruby or Node BTW, but let's be real.

He's mostly speaking in terms of momentum. The Ruby talk was vastly overstated - mostly because it was too early to say that.

With Node the trend has been clear for a while and if current pace keeps up he'll be 100% correct. Even if it slows down it's looking like that would be the case in a couple of years at worst.

That's not a knock on Java either way (tho I'm no fan) it's a testament to Node's growth.
