It is an interesting concept though much like WebSockets, but I am not
banking any commercial development on it at this point.

Linkedin is banking on it. There are quite a few articles on the Internet about that. From a programming perspective, the transition from client side JavaScript to server side is fairly seamless. With node.js you have all the language elements minus the complexity of the browser's DOM.

If node.js were available under IBM i, you might use it to write or port a WebSocket server. Then a WebSocket client wouldn't be much of a hurdle.

I'm also intrigued by the idea of running Ruby under IBM i. A growing developer community. Lot's a innovation. The possibility of porting new applications to IBM i. Free and open-source developer tools. It would further prove IBM i's adaptability.
