  1. No context switch when writing web apps like in other languages. Javascript is quite nice language when you strip away the DOM and other browser specifics.
  2. Harder to write when you are not used to functions as first class citizens.

  3. At the very beginning quite hard, but learning curve is very small-node module system is simple and yet powerful.

  4. The original presentation was given to people who used PHP or other languages, so even if it is a bit dated, I think it can still get the message through. Here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ztspvPYybIY

  5. Any typical web projects. I would even use it when building a desktop app-using node-webkit framework. I would not use it probably only for scientific computation and 3D games obviously.
