I highly recommend listening to JavaScript Jabber's Zone.js interview [1] with Brian Ford that came out yesterday. He mentions collaborating with this NodeJS Zones project and the possibility of convergence.

I also recommend watching his ng-conf talk [2] on Zone.js to get a better understanding of what zones enable.
