Heh. Literally this morning I had to use Node to pipe data from one process to another. Unless there's a drastic increase in the efficiency of the syntax, I'm keeping this at arm's length.

that's a system call/protocol layer. node is used for some of the highest performance stuff in the world. try this: http://zeromq.org/bindings:node-js

Also, syntax != V8 engine performance.

Right, but in a shell syntax <= my performance. If I'm typing something 5 times a day, I'd rather type "ls dir|grep README" than some extremely long string of JS. I'm talking about usability, not raw performance.
