Yes I am too. But I think nodejs still misses some things to be a great language, at most the synchronous way. Some people try to make it by implementing the same syntax as in C# (async/await) or by finding others ways (like coffee script try with defer). But finaly we still have with so much spaghetti... And for example, just try to think about how many levels of callback you will need to have to write only the Config model of Magento : it's insame. So, at this time, I don't think that the language is good enought without a transcompilator like coffeescript (even I don't like the idea) or a strong runtime lib (which one?). And from that will depends the success.
