I had a team recently who were getting really frustrated with Node. They are systems people, integrators that sort of thing. I have been careful about pushing my own prejudices onto them. I made a throwaway comment about how x problem would be so easy in Python and one of the senior guys asked to try it. I showed them Flask about a month ago and they are over-the-moon. The next day they were showing what they had built!
Now they have plans for a whole set of simple webapps. It's like a new lease of life!
