I just cannot get excited for this VC funded experimental piece of technology. 10 years ago, maybe. Node.js is not going anywhere anytime soon.

They used to say "perl is not going anywhere", too, and it turns out they were right.

Python and PHP weren't VC-funded projects.

Turns out a full rewrite turns people away.

Still plenty of UNIX admins keep using Perl 5.
