Performance does no longer matter much (unless you're Amazon - or google) - because servers are so cheap compared to development time - and they will be even cheaper tomorrow. Benefits of JS target: - never think about memory - interface to existing code more easily (?) - existing hosting services (heroku) You already said that you don't want to target the masses. Having some more users helping testing would be fine though :) Writing tutorials is probably more important right now than having NodeJS support. If there are enough skilled users someone will pick it up and implement it anyway (?)
