Sad to see a project with so much promise jump on the latest trendy bandwagon. I think I'll stick to Ocsigen. http://ocsigen.org/

What's wrong with compiling to JavaScript? Is it just bad because it's popular?

Of course, I'm biased: the only tool I've used from ocsigen is js_of_ocaml :P.

The link from the blog back to the project's main website doesn't work properly. Is appears that the logo in http://opalang.org/header_blog.xmlt should be linked with target="_top" since the navbar is an iframe.

If the bandwagon is a programming language that runs everywhere, on the client and on the server, what's so bad about that?

Was the native runtime multicore capable ? If so, going to Node is a huge step down.
