Isn't the strength of PHP the easy to learn and easy install on cheap shared hosts and the strong killer apps like wordpress/magento/drupal/etc ?

Given the arguments in the article: Isn't Node.js rather the new RubyOnRails ? Rails had similar hype patterns and unclear long term usecases when they launched the blog video. (imho)

Except Node.js isn't a framework for building websites/web applications.

Also from the article: You'll not have headaches regarding concurrency (at first), but you'll have them when dealing with callbacks. For some cases I almost ended up with one callback per line, that's crazy!

People that write stuff like that are very ignorant and are probably trying to write Javascript like they write their Java.
