Please, don't.  JS is a wart right from the start -- supposedly the
only popular programming language these days for which a book titled
"JavaScript: the good parts" has been written, which actually devoted
to teaching the prospective developers how to *not* use the
language.  Yes, there are hordes of (usually underskilled) web
developers who know JS by necessity, but IMO this is not a *technical*
consideration.  All this current hype for JS (node.js included) is a
good display of herd behaviour in human society, something not to be
proud of.
