If the "node.js' awesome architecture" is referring primarily to its event-oriented/asynchronous architecture, Tcl has an incredibly robust event-oriented mechanism[1][2] for those interested in playing with it. Looking forward to seeing what shakes out in this arena. Culturally, Tcl has been heavily event-oriented[3] for a long time, so it'll be interesting to see what others chose to do with it.

Some people also suggested I remind that Tcl has coroutines[1] and a very solid threading model as well[2].
