I've used Node.js to power a little "social doodling" pet project I made: http://letsdrawit.com and I find it a useful way to think about concurrency because there are certain types of race conditions you don't have to consider (for example any critical regions in memory)

It's extremely useful for the "evented" part, but I get the sensation of using node for hosting webpages might be overkill and not the appropriate tool. Instead, I've got the node.js core proxied behind an nginx server hosting static files and ruby rack (for when dynamic content is necessary).

Does anyone see an advantage of using Node to host templated webpages?
