I love this comment. I really enjoy node.js but have never really paid attention to Joyent, until now. They have immense respect from me (not that it counts for much) for their candid response and their push for SSJS and node.js

Why does that quote give you more respect for Joyent?

Not necessarily just that comment, the post in general gives me a new found respect for them. They are opinionated, and have a clear focus for what they want to do, and would rather do it in a way they feel is the right way than cave into pressure from big players to do it the 'safe' way. I don't think Bruno, by extension Yahoo, wants node.js to compromise what makes it great, but it definitely isn't tested and it takes balls for Joyent to invest so heavily on evented I/O for V8.
