I'm super excited about its future though. I've been working on a simple dynamic list view where you can reorder, rename, and delete items, and I already have 10+ Feedback Assistant reports I need to file and a lot of open questions.

Node.js' insistence on being familiar to Unix people has hurt its developer experience more than they realize. Even after this many years, the docs are still subpar. Docs for `fs.mkdir` only says: `Asynchronous mkdir(2)` You shouldn't have to be Unix graybeard to use Node.js. `mkdir(2)` does link to the Linux kernel man pages, but you shouldn't have to read Linux kernel docs to use Node.js.
