Tim Caswell interviewed at Velocity 2011
summary
Argues that node.js turns JavaScript into an OS-scripting, event-loop platform that makes highly concurrent services simple, claiming a live chat can go from ten boxes to one and businesses already reap those savings. Notes front-end devs can move server-side but must learn low-level issues like TCP chunks cut at arbitrary boundaries. Says webkit unifies mobile browsers so apps built with phoneGap reach app stores, and asserts JavaScript is a real language with closures and first-class functions.
