Please don't mistake the words of one person for a general consensus.
I'm sure many of the regulars are aware of the potential of server-side
JS; one of them posted the link in the first place.

I especially remember TE's take on it :)

I can't tell if this is simply intended as a joke.

I was complaining about your posting a raw link to a video without
accompanying it with some text describing what the video is about.
Posting two more links to additional videos -- again with no
explanation -- just makes it worse.

Sorry, now that you say it, yes, I realize that it looks very much
like a -bad- joke. Sincerely, that wasn't my intention. The videos are
2 other (previous) presentations of Node.js, by Ryan Dahl. It's been
by watching the one @ jsconf.eu that I got aware of Node.js.

Thanks. Much better. :-) And the rest of this thread has helped
explain a little about what node.js actually is.
