    I just finished a subject on nodejs with mongodb in this semester and it was my first encounter with js or webdevelopment and I have to say I like it! Because of js freedom you can mess around and create stuff fast and easy but if you are not carefull you can fuck up just as easy if not easier. :D

    I use it (and npm) everyday for JS scaffolding, testing, building and bundling.

    Good and fast for a small codebase, but as soon as it grows it starts to get messy.. Also it doesn't feel robust. Just an opinion from experiences I had in entreprise projects! :)

    I like just dislike the callback/promise side of it. Need to workout if I can use generators to help me

    @atomicTurtle the promise based API solves the callback hell problem quite elegantly I find :)
    @OP from using it at my company, NodeJS is doing a good job but it is a pain in the ass to troubleshoot any issue. The stack traces and error message are the most uninformative I've ever encountered, and debugging tools are far from efficient. Also as it was mentioned already, the typing system and the freedom it allows is paid back once a certain scale is reached - code gets messy and is hard to organize properly.
