Hipsters 
I am interested in learning MEAN stack though.

It popularized using the asynchronous model for processing requests. Now, most languages and frameworks have this type of support.
The apparent benefit was also the ability to write JS from server. It's event loop model means that you could scale better in terms of servicing incoming requests with less computing resources.
It is meant to solve the I/O problem and not to be used for heavy computation. So typically, you would have a node server accepting requests and then pawning off the hard work to another system. Node will keep allowing requests coming in. When the hard work and processing is done, that result is passed back.
Just another way to add scalability. I wouldn't use this for typical websites or CRUD systems.

Only two pages for node.js on the first myadsl link coming from google. Feels a bit strange, but looking at the last post on the jozi meetup, I can see that it died a bit in Gauteng. Like always the capetown scene seems better.
Anybody want to speculate why, did all the rockstars leave myadsl?
Because I want to talk to people locally about how Netflix debug their production servers and IBM owning chunks like expressjs, node-red, the bluemix platform.
Also anybody tried out the cloud9 IDE? Been running it locally since 2013 and loving it.
So just wanted to share some node.js goodness.
Hopefully this post will kick the page count.

I'm not some rockstar dev, but I use node.js for simple APIs since it is really awesome.
I use VS with https://github.com/Microsoft/nodejstools and deploy my projects to Azure which is really simple.
For people that get really into it, https://blogs.windows.com/msedgedev/2016/01/19/nodejs-chakracore-mainline/
