For example, for creating a collaborative application where you need to see what other users are doing. I want to explore that using NodeJS. I have couple of questions: ...
I'm new to Node.js and I have been reading about Narwhal that is a framework based on Rhino. My questions: If I'm using Node.js, should/could I use Narwhal and it's libraries/modules? Aren't the libraries/modules in Narwhal IO-blocked (why Node.js got this huge popularity)? Is Node.js only for creating Web servers or is it for creatin...

After some quick Googling, I found that there are some XML libraries available for v8/Node.js: http://github.com/ry/node/wiki/modules#parsers-xml However, after drilling down into these modules, it seems that they only provide support for parsing XML documents, and manipulating them with DOM. I'm wondering if anyone is aware of an XSLT ...
