> JavaScript is a decent language with a huge community and Erlang/BEAM could solve Node's deficiencies like async-everything APIs and single-threaded execution.
While BEAM of course has facilities at the VM level that support that, you'd have to extend javascript to take advantage of them on top of building a JS->BEAM compiler.
At which point, the benefit of using JS rather than a language designed to deal better with concurrency and parallelism is dubious.
