If you don't need the real time element that NodeJS/NowJS offers, may I suggest you give http://www.akshell.com a go. Real time features are in the works, but aren't currently publicly available.

We're really keen to see people experiment with server side JavaScript on the platform and will instantly answer any queries you may have on our mailing list at http://groups.google.com/group/akshell

What do you mean by "if you don't need the real-time element"?

I mean that if you're building a typical web app that uses the request/response cycle rather than requiring real time push from the server using Comet or WebSockets, Akshell, with it's synchronous I/O, should be easier to work with.

Oh, I see. So it works as normal it just doesn't have server push yet. Gotcha.
