    In all of these Node.js rewrite stories (Groupon, Paypal) it really feels like Node was incidental to their success

        @bascule @bdarfler It's more a story of the horror of large, Java codebases.

        @bascule success is rarely a direct (or even indirect) result of tools used along the way, and much more about who was using them and how.

        @darkuncle for whatever reason Node took top billing in both stories

        @bascule people always like talking about the new cool tools; it's sexier than saying "success was due to hard work, timing and luck"

        @bascule actually looks like Node.js is being used only as frontend in all of these stories .
