I keep hearing you guys post about Globals here on the list, and I assume you work there (?), but I never hear of anyone actually using it (in the node.js community, I don't know about the Java and .NET communities)... Do you have many node.js users, or any examples of things that are using it to good advantage? Did any Node users take part in last year's challenge?
