Very interesting talk, thanks for sharing. I confess the cynical side of me thinks the majority of the hand waving about why it worked is summed in a single line of the last slide "ensure the best developers are on the initial work". That is, would Java truly be so bad if you were able to ensure that idea, as well?
Still, though, I am more interested in node having watched this.
