Node.js is great for REST API development but hey who's using those these days right ?

But I agree that this project fixes a non-existing problem.

I agree that Node.js is pretty good for thin REST APIs, it's one of the few scenarios that Node.js actually works quite well. It's the other 99% of use cases that I take issue with.
Use cases like Walmart, LinkedIn, Paypal, Ebay, the New York Times, Uber, Voxer, Microsoft and Yahoo?
They aren't use cases. They are company names. Which parts of their product runs on Node.js? And have you spoken to their developers about their projects? Just because a big company deployed something doesn't make it viable.
