I made this RPG node demo a while back: http://sleeperbot.com
I'm not using any server monitoring so it can crash at any moment.
Would love to get more than 15 users on here moving around and see what happens.

Regardless of the popularity of Javascript on the server-side, if you're writing a web-based application, then your architecture will benefit from:
1. Shared code between client and server.
2. Specialization in one language.
V8 and Node are at least a very good combination for server-side Javascript.
Re: "is it absolutely not suitable for production use?"
Node in alpha state is already more production ready than many "production ready" tools.

In this article I hope to take you through the steps required to get a fully-functional (albeit feature-light) persistent blogging system running on top of node.

The technology stack that we'll be using will be node + express + mongoDB all of which are exciting, fast and highly scalable. You'll also get to use haml-js and sass.js for driving the templated views and styling! We will be using kiwi to easy the package management and installation issues.

This article will be fairly in-depth so you may want to get yourself a rather large mug of whatever beverage you prefer before you settle down :)

NodeJS has been garnering a lot of attention late. Briefly, NodeJS is a server-side JavaScript runtime implemented using Google's highly performant V8 engine. It provides an (almost) completely non-blocking I/O stack which, when combined with JavaScript closures and anonymous functions, makes it an excellent platform for implementing high throughput web services. As an example, a simple "Hello, world!" application written for NodeJS performs comparably to an Nginx module written to do the same.
The following example requires node-v0.1.100 or later and node-webworker, a NodeJS implementation of the emerging HTML5 Web Workers standard for parallel execution of JavaScript. You can install node-webworker using npm by executing npm install webworker@stable.
