Last year, Ryan Dahl of node.js gave his much lauded talk at JSConf.eu. Node wasn't all new then, but not a lot of people have heard about it. Ryan's presentation changed all that and we're extremely proud to have provided a stage for him. For many, if not all, in the audience (and the room was packed) this was the first ever tech presentation that got a standing ovation afterwards.
The success of node in the following months is only testament to how great a project it is. Today, the node.js community is vibrant, active and innovative. Many other and older projects take notice and rethink their programming models, especially the evented ones.
If JavaScript wasn't already the most widespread programming language, node.js is a definite enabler of JavaScript on the server side.
We couldn't be more happy and proud to announce that Joyent, Ryan's employer and great supporter of node.js is a main sponsor of JSConf.eu 2010.
Joyent just recently launched their node-enabled beta version of the SmartPlatform, right in time for the node.js Knockout, a global contest for the node community.
Long story short, welcome Joyent, see you in Berlin!
