Node.js is a great project and is making popular good things, but there is some disinformation in this blog post. For instance Tcl has had this idea of an http server that is an event based library for at least 10 years.
Not just tclhttpd, I mean, event programming in Tcl is central and there was a library called 'http' that exported a web server where you could bind urls to Tcl functions serving them.
