Node isn&#x27;t &quot;killing it&quot; anywhere, as far as I can see. It&#x27;s a  special-case technology being touted as competition for proper server-side languages, but in reality it is poorly-suited for the job.<p>There&#x27;s no valid reason why most people should choose JS on the server instead of Ruby, Python, PHP, C# or Java, except that so many people know JS and so many people love shiny &quot;cool&quot; stuff. Node is a deeply flawed and very messy ecosystem.<p>Verdict: no, but thanks.
