Thanks I really appreciate your incite. I may have other engineers with Node experience pick up the bulk of it so learning curve wouldn't be as big an issue. But I guess what you're trying to tell me is that I'm jumping the gun on Nodejs as Django/Rails replacement by a few years here..

I think my biggest fear is the size and fragmentation of the ecosystem. Every library out there seems to be a beta that could easily turn to abandonware in 6 mos. Is that a fair assessment?
