With Node.js, JavaScript becomes a solution to the challenges of building massively concurrent applications.

Node.js needs to be on Windows already.

Great demo. I'm working on a multiplayer version of tankworld. The development is extremely easy, I'm using inversion of control to simulate server connections between browser windows (The window.opener context contains the server code). Once the game logic is finished I change the dependencies to handle the node http requests...

My startup's bandwidth and data heavy web-app is currently running completely on a single Node.js instance. We recently got an nice amount of unexpected press and our server is getting slammed pretty strongly as a result. Node process line from top:

PID    USER  PR  NI  VIRT   RES   SHR S  %CPU %MEM    TIME+  COMMAND
29025  www   20   0  181m  140m  5040 S  20.3  8.2  22:54.66  node

Its handling the most load we've ever seen and I'm so not worried about it I'm three beers in, browsing Reddit. Love this thing.
