Which you can get with far better platforms and languages that compile to JS.

And a lot of the use cases aren't sharing code or even have a client/server setup. Like crappy non-parallel build systems being written from scratch using Nodejs.

This thread's been a bit illuminating. I guess I'm not missing anything technical. Some people like JS I guess and Node exists so why not use it.
