#2Fun fact, hook.io uses Dnode as it's primary TCP transport, which is written by Substack! http://github.com/SubStack/dnode

#3This is pretty sweet sauce. You get the modular ideology like Erlang.. without the syntax. Ew.

#4Hey all, just wanted to chime in about us using this at Nodejitsu. Hook.io makes it much easier to have a huge mesh network of drones for us and greatly simplified our management code for child processes on our stack. If you are looking for an easy way to have a mesh network or a master/slave network Hook.io will be great.
As for personal use, Hook.io is amazing since it is like a mesh network and IPC event bus put together. I create modules, a way of using deamons supporting features through hooks makes life easier and allows them to be services kept alive out of my process.

#5I'm an Erlanger and I like this. I don't think Node will ever replace Erlang for what Erlang is good for. However it definitely is doing a great job taking concurrent programming mainstream.
If anyone is looking for a fun hack, it looks like creating a CouchDB _changes hook would take only a few lines of code, as the hard work is already done: https://github.com/iriscouch/follow

Yes, this would be awesome! Then we could subscribe to NPM and get Hook.io events every-time a new package was published to NPM.
Wrapping existing libraries in a Hook, is very very simple ( by design ). :-)

#10Not really sure how this takes on Erlang, seems much more like a simple message queue for Node.
