Using Node has helped me think more in terms of streams because the APIs afford such thinking. PHP has streams but I never thought to use them, and I haven't really seen it done.

Node Streams really help performance in my application where I am proxying API calls from the browser to the Dropbox API. It's much faster to stream the response from Dropbox through to the client rather than request, wait for entire response, then send.
