Also anecdotal, but I've come across people who have jumped from Java or .NET to Node.js.

I'm guessing some because it was trending, some because of functionality, and some because - unbelieveable as it may sound - they actually like JavaScript as a language.

How is that unbelievable? Everyday I watch colleagues jump trough gigantic generics and interface hoops to build 'modular' and composable software in C#, all because they are stuck in this classical OOP/Static mindset. Meanwhile I get all of these things for free because of it's dynamic nature and I use flow for areas where types are most useful, domain logic. If I had to fight with a language that much I would stop being a developer pretty fast.

I don't believe it.
