I know I'm getting to be a broken record, but two different attempts at an SSH server, neither of which work? Every other thing on this list is a reimplementation of something in Python's standard library or Twisted. I mean, yes, that's a lot of code to write, and I'm impressed, but this just feels like yet more reinvention of the wheel.

I think that's the point. Nodejs is a new technology and people are re-inventing all the Twisted (and other technologies like it) wheels so that you can use them from nodejs.

James and Peteris are two of the most amazing devs I've seen in a long time. They ship and ship and ship and ship. The first version of StackVM (Browserling's underlying technology) was written in Haskell. They switched to Node close to two years ago if I'm not mistaken. I've gotten an early look at Testling, their cross browser testing web testing tools, and they're easily a year or two ahead of anyone else on the m…

They are amazing and Browserling is very handy, but they really need to hire a designer. A lot of their customers are going to be designers, there is no reason to have such a dated look.

Congrats! Incidentally, anyone have an idea how I can profile my Node app to see where I'm using up memory and CPU resources?
