I am totally with you on Elixir/ Phoenix. But using Node.js is about leveraging frontend devs to get productive on the backend fast. At least, I think that’s the idea. Maybe also leveraging Google’s dependence on V8 (and thus all the engineering love it gets), although I don’t think that’s really a great argument compared to the EVM.

Well, Node.js is just good tech with a simple async-everything concurrency model.

Ya. nodejs is "JavaScript bindings for libev".

Deno (also by Ryan Dahl) "TypeScript bindings for libev" may become a viable successor. https://deno.land/manual.html#introduction

let’s hope so! Looks like a great project
