I'd disagree that node.js fit that argument. I do python Django in my day job and a ton of node.js in my other projects (startup nearing launch, two other projects) and with express there is not a huge gulf in productivity between the two. All of my node.js projects is based upon No-SQL (leveldb, mongodb, couchdb) db's so I'm not up on JS's ORM libs but it might be a large difference there but it's certainly not when using a No-SQL db.

Gotcha. Yea, I put that in there because I've read/heard second hand information about Node.js requiring a substantial amount of boilerplate, etc. Sounds like that time has past. :)
