Sometimes I think that there are not enough of real problems to solve in the js world.

Too many people pumped into a tight space of the frontend development are creating in there another copy of the whole infrastructure while limited by the tools that weren't designed for that.

Node was designed to build networking applications just like this.
No, node was the realization that JS’s concurrency model could be applied to applications like this.
