Node can do anything any other high level language can do. Its also super easy to use any C libs

Why would you do that? Javascript is a shit language, only PHP is worse and as widely used.
Python is so much better for hacking stuff together quickly, and if you're aiming for performance, compiled, static-typed languages are a must, or Java at least.

4chan is a redundant system. It always entertains the same conversations and has been doing that for years now.

While I greatly disagree with this statement, even if it was true. JavaScript has some how managed to outdo PHP in the incompetent programmer category. Hey lets rewrite everything in JavaScript, whoooo!

Javascript is shit because it's too hackish and ad-hoc, but a good programmer can avoid the pitfalls and salvage it to produce decent code.
PHP is utter crap. The language itself is brain dead in multiple show-stopping ways. It's unpredictable (see == vs ===), inconsistent, hard to debug, and just damn ugly on top of all that.
The only reason why it's so popular must be because PHP programmers know of nothing else.

Performance when handling tons of small requests. JS is single threaded which forces you to do anything asynchronously and non-blocking, most other languages or frameworks create a new thread or process.
Beyond that you can use it for creating useful tooling: Frontend unit testing frameworks that wouldn't be possible without it (CasperJS), TypeScript uses node for code generation, you can use it to do canvas rendering on the server side to at least deliver PNGs of your chart to old browser that don't support canvas (node-canvas) and there's probably tons of other shit that wouldn't be possible without it.
Socket-IO with a node-backend is basically the fastest way to prototype web applications.

>most other languages or frameworks create a new thread or process.
Yes, spawing threads is slow, but there's something called a thread pool. It's not a new concept. And it's not single-threaded, so all your cores can process those requests, meaning throughput is increased.
Not a web dev so I don't know any of that other stuff, but claiming something is better because it's single-threaded doesn't make sense to me in any context.
