From my point of view, it's down to a combination of good marketing and 'right place at the right time'.

I've never heard of twisted - but I feel like I'm getting in on the ground floor with node. Additionally, I was positively salivating to learn a new language when it started 'emerging'.

I think part of it comes down to the fact that I was already very comfortable with Javascript, so I started with node.js knowing that I at least knew some of the basics ... and thank got I did, because programming in node is very different from what I'm used to.

It's sometimes difficult to know which lines of code are blocking and which aren't.
