I've read a lot about Node and watched Ryan Dahl's introduction to Node and maybe the author of this post should have done that too. At no moment does Ryan talks about Erlang and having anything to do with Erlang's way of thinking. Node was built to use javascript's awesome V8 engine and its event loop that many people already know and love to provide evented IO. I love Node and I think it is a great project, which has nothing to envy about Erlang.

This is like saying "This Honda Civic clearly sucks compared to my helicopter. Let me write you an article about everything that my helicopter does betting that your Civic". Clearly the Civic was build for another purpose and so the comparison is void.
