Is Node.js still a bleeding edge?

Question

I recently watched the video “Introduction to Node.js with Ryan Dahl” on Youtube ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jo_B4LTHi3I ) and I really like the look of Node.js. Unfortunately, in this video, Ryan described Node.js as “very advanced technology” (so many words), and that means that it will not meet my goal of looking at server / server-side Javascript in the first place - to find stable, Well-supported open source technology for server-side use for our purposes.

I am sure that the status of Node.js "bleeding-edge" has not changed - at least not so much - since March, but can anyone confirm this for me? How risky would it be to include Node.js in our design for a large (1000 nodes), enterprise system?

Thanks! Aaron

In general, I would say yes, but this did not stop some leading companies from using it . I do not know what scaling ( clustering ) is up to the level you are talking about.

I would say if you ask here, then this is probably not for you right now.
