Be curious to hear what you think of node after toying with it a bit.

Hello World. It worked :) In general, I love JavaScript so I don't see why I wouldn't like Node. I'll have to write a real program to truly have an opinion.

What's the best way to start and keep Node running?

The best way to keep any service started and running runit. http://smarden.org/runit/

We give credit, when due... Check out forever.

I was inspired by forever, so I also created my own management tool:

I've also used fugue before:

It launches a master process which forks and manages child worker processes and talks to them over a socket.
