I can't tell if you're being cheeky or not, but the fact that a marketing person wrote this does not confirm anything. Also, why would it even matter?
To be fair, RisingStack basically exists because of Node hype. It's literally their name. They've been putting out sensationalist articles like this for years.
It's basically free advertising for them, this account has 0 comments and has submitted 100% from risingstack.com -- 12 posts in 2 months. It's obvious they're just trying to drum up traffic (i.e. business).
