That certainly could be a theoretical future for Asm.js! In my post I link to a pure-JavaScript port of SQLite that runs in Node.js (using Emscripten): https://github.com/kripken/sql.js

Presumably either Node would have to switch to Mozilla's Spidermonkey or V8 would have to implement full performance support for Asm.js.

Hopefully the V8 guys have more respect for asm.js than they do E4X, which would be really nice to have in NodeJS. Even though V8 is from Google devs and not directly associated with NodeJS, I think they should be at least considerate of features that are useful outside the browser, but need integration into the engine itself.
