Node uses hierarchical dependencies so different dependencies can get their own version of a particular package. I'd agree that this is hardly innovative, but definitely a lot more user friendly than Ruby. npm is great but would agree that attributing Node's popularity to it is unfounded.

The breaks from A+ are pretty serious, both the treatment of undefined and releasing zalgo (http://blog.izs.me/post/59142742143/designing-apis-for-async...) and calling it a feature. Not on the hunt for a client side micro-framework but since I use a lot of modules that supply promises there's no way I'd use this.

console.log is bound in Firefox and in Node. In all other browsers calling console.log.call(null) is a TypeError.

It's true that console.log is bound in FF and Node but that s not the issue here. Passing console.log to then will cause the next handler to receive the return value of the console.log call, i.e. undefined.

No, and even if it were that wouldn't make f.lux for iOS possible. Even an app running temporarily in the background can't do this on iOS.

I'd like to hear more about the project as well. As the founder of a company in this space, I've noticed an acute disconnect between the talkers and the builders. It can be hard for someone with the passion to tackle big issues to break through the noise of 100 people throwing around buzzwords.
