You see waves of technology adoption based a lot on language barriers. We're seeing this with Larval right now in India/SE-Asia, we've seen it with VB6, then .NET into Russia/South-America, and we're just starting to see node.js picking up in China.

People forget, documentation needs to be written, interpreted, then passed down through different channels, like programming communities, schools, person 2 person. This can take 4 years+. As soon as English speakers have mastered it, China is just starting to for example.

Node is here to stay, and it's already at a point with decent enterprise adoption, meaning it's going to take a lot of money and time to reverse the trend.
