I recently discovered node.js, a cool approach to build scalable network programs. The server code is written in JavaScript, a language every Web developer must know. It is also very performant, handling more requests per second than other popular servers like nginx, thin or mongrel.
This is very cool, you don't have to write the code twice, once on the server side and again in the browser. It still has some problems, like memory utilisation and SSL support, but it is definitely something to keep an eye at in the future, maybe this is the way to bring all Web developers together to use a common, optimized language.
