I don't understand what you mean by "shoving it further down the throats of the masses". Are people being ordered to use Node.JS against their will somewhere?
Yes, usually by their manager. Things like Node.js get over-marketed to the public, managers are fooled into thinking it's a valid solution to their problem, then they force developers to use it against their will. node-cgi increases the number of scenarios where Node.js can be inappropriately forced down the throats of otherwise competent developers.
And there's also the long tail of inexperienced developers who made their own decision to use it and left a broken application that an experienced developer is called in to fix.
I also prefixed my statement with "akin to", which is to say it's not literally being shoved down the throats of developers but the effect is similar.
Well, if that is the case, maybe the issue is that such a person works in a bad environment? If you have a boss foisting technical decisions on you that are not suitable for the project, I'd expect that is a messed up environment in a lot of other ways. Is that Node's--or it's practitioners'--fault?
