Right now, Node seems to me to be "The Emperor's New Clothes", but I'm watching it because IBM and others are pushing it hard (and that's why I did a proof-of-concept).

Oh, I didn't mean to dis node in general at all, I'm a big fan of it 😊 and for developing front end stuff it's great. It's really just the lack of vendor support for database drivers and the lack of a consistent interface to them which is frustrating if you come from JavaEE where JDBC drivers are consistent and well supported, but they've had years to get it right - Node is still a baby by comparison. As I say, given the chance, I'd migrate my framework to Node, I much prefer to work in Typescript than Java and I wouldn't need a Java EE host, but I would be migrating from a very stable environment with cross platform support and right now I don't feel it's worth the investment.
