Łukasz [Anwajler](http://anwajler.com/) (of [Warsaw Hackerspace](http://hackerspace.pl/) fame) wrote a short, informative and generally [fun to read article](http://anwajler.com/node.html) on [Node.js](http://nodejs.org).

For those of you living (like I) under a rock last few months -- [Node.js](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Node.js) is an I/O framework enabling writing programs in [JS](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JavaScript). Yeah, no browser needed. Yeah, with filesystem access, sockets and the like. Yeah, one could write an http server in it (or, for that matter, a webapp, server-side).
