I hope this doesn't sound like trolling, but JavaScript's syntax is now a selling point? I kinda-sorta get the reason why people want an actual JavaScript stack on the backend, but I never heard that syntax/semantics brought people from e.g. Rails to Node.

Sure, OCaml isn't even the nicest syntax in the ML family, but I'm not sure whether that's worth it, especially considering that almost any "X-like" language often turns out to be an Uncanny Valley for "X" programmers -- close enough to make some frustrating errors.
