Seems like too much fluff - both the acquirer generating it and the acquisition itself. It would be helpful to see why&#x2F;where one would use node.js when other platforms support many more workloads well than just pure I&#x2F;O bound ones. In the &quot;enterprise middleware&quot;, going native (C++) or managed (JVM&#x2F;CLR) brings with it a much richer ecosystem alongwith a more robust runtime that can better support other workloads that entail for example cpu binding. It&#x27;s hard to see a real need for node.js as it seems to not do anything significantly better than other platform options.
