[dba-Tech] Node.js vs Java

 Hi Jim --

Yes, I also planned to post about this news here :)

Still to get is node.js able to effectively handle CPU intensive tasks? 
Or should I better ask how CPU intensive tasks should be programmed to have them handled effectively on node.js? 
Or  - are there any limitations in using node.js for implementation of any kind of real life *business* applications?
Of course, I mean *ordinary* business not something like controlling the flights of advanced rockets and spacecrafts of SpaceX ( http://www.spacex.com/ ).

Thank you.
