Kraken.js: Enterprise-grade Node.js web application framework

Kraken is an offshoot from work at Paypal and just a few lines above this on the HN frontpage is a post about a Node memory leak post mortem from Wal-Mart. Over the next few years will we see Node become as commonplace in the enterprise as Java and .NET?

How does this compare with Sails.js?

Walmart Labs has been doing lots of javascript for awhile. I believe they will probably release something similar soon as well.

Yeah, when I saw they released the Hapi[1] framework for Node several months ago my initial reaction was "is Walmart Labs part of THE Walmart??"

When I read “Kraken.js” for a second I thought it’s a JS client for Asana’s Kraken project: https://github.com/Asana/kraken

Are we running out of names for open source projects?

I find it hard to believe it's Enterprise-grade when the documentation link points at a GitHub README.
