Problem is that node is buggy as hell. Try and do something more trivial than basic I/O and you are going to face lots of them. Its almost a decade since node hype has begun and still you will hardly find any large, well-known website being powered by node is the testament to this fact. Also, if you read the docs of any major API implementation, you will find examples in python, php, java, etc. but I'm yet to come across a node example. Node ain't ready for the real world yet.

  I dont have experience to corroborate, but I can say I have been seeing a lot of interest in Node even from people in the enterprise crowd. Places that would ordinarily be writing stuff in Java and .NET are turning to Node instead.. This quora article seems to substantiate my 'enterprise' claim somewhat: https://www.quora.com/What-are-the-biggest-websites-built-with-Node-js-on-the-server-side https://www.quora.com/What-are-the-biggest-websites-built-wi...

  https://github.com/nodejs/node-v0.x-archive/wiki/Projects,-Applications,-and-Companies-Using-Node https://github.com/nodejs/node-v0.x-archive/wiki/Projects,-A... Projects like Yammer are really small and not known? Okayyyy. You should really reflect your view of the world.

  Ummmm. https://github.com/nodejs/node-v0.x-archive/wiki/Projects,-Applications,-and-Companies-Using-Node https://github.com/nodejs/node-v0.x-archive/wiki/Projects,-A... You're right. PayPal, Uber, Walmart are all tiny little nobodies. And I'm not entirely certain what api implementation docs you're looking at, but I've yet to say, "I need service X" and not find a node.js API wrapper already built.

  It sounds like you haven't used Node or read API docs in several years. Developing for Node full-time for the past few years, I've yet to find any bugs in the standard library or runtime. And, just glancing around at a few "major API docs" that come to mind, all that included code examples (PayPal, Stripe, IBM Bluemix, MaxMind) included Node.js examples.

  When was the last time you looked up anything on node? Have you ever even used it?

It's a tool, and like every other tool comes with its pros and cons. I am not saying Node is the perfect fit for any project, because it isn't. However stating it isn't used and almost a decade is just wrong.
