I don't have any technical problem with NodeJS.

My problem with NodeJS is that it practically stopped the progress on the CommonJS discussion group, by moving the attention from important issues like a standard library, module transport, etc to non-issues like async. What a pitty...

You're backpedaling. If you're going to rant, own it. Otherwise don't rant.
