From my personal experience, Node is a really fun platform to quickly whip up a working web site/app/service over the weekend. But I keep getting this nagging feeling that it's not sustainable for a long term project with a large codebase. Other than socket.io, I really don't see Node as a general purpose web stack.

Actually we have around 20,000 lines of node in production spread over about 20 services. It's perfect for SOA.
