npm is a fantastic package manager that integrates very well with github, and node -- in the opinion of a lot of people -- has a rather intuitive system for installing and loading third party modules. EDIT: also wanted to add that node exposes your standard POSIX-style interfaces to the OS, so there's really no reason it can't be a general purpose replacement for other languages for writing system tools. |

Perl/Python come installed by default in the majority of distros (and Mac OSX)
They're also more mature at this stage
So, yeah, node may one day be as supported as them, but today it is at a disadvantage.
