I've only recently started with Clojure and I feel like a clumsy newb most of the time, but I adore the elegance and simplicity. I like that this article gets into the benefits of hashes, maps, and vectors as first-class objects in Clojure. I'm sure the Lisp purists hate it, but as someone used to 21st century programming languages, I love it. And I like how it shows Clojure's superiority over other languages' access/manipulation of the same structures. I'd love to see a follow-on here about the advantages of immutability too.
As for the popularity of Node.js... fertilizer is a wonderful thing, but it's still made out of manure. I can't quite get around my distaste for Javascript.
