In fact I have no doubt that within 5 years something else new will come along and perhaps Giles will be writing another article about "Node Went Off The Script: Why I'm Rebuilding Clyde In TheNextBestThing"

Which possibillity he mentions in TFA.

But this is what we call progress (or, to a more bitter viewpoint) change. It doesn't stop.

Aside from async, I don't see a single drop of progress moving from Rails to Node.JS.

Much smaller memory footprint, faster execution times, consistency of writing your server code and client code in the same language, etc.

You could say all of these things are subjective, but so is the word "progress".
