There is an explosion indeed, with two main directions IMHO: - frameworks like yours on top of Node - frameworks like helma-ng and nitro on top of Google App Engine (via Rhino)

These offer the best scalability guarantees and I'm still torn on what is the best approach for my personal projects.

node.js supports an event driven programming paradigm by default, so in that regard it is a bit different than some of the other server side JS frameworks.
