If you ever come across a JS engine that boots as fast as Lua, I'll port node to it. On my raspberry pi and my various webos smart-phones, node process booting takes over 1000ms, but lua is nearly instant.
Actually, I think a new JS engine who's goal is to be light-weight would be really neat actually. As long as it doesn't run too terribly slow.
