The document discusses the future of server-side JavaScript. It covers various Node.js frameworks and libraries that support both synchronous and asynchronous programming styles. CommonJS aims to provide interoperability across platforms by implementing synchronous proposals using fibers. Examples demonstrate how CommonJS allows for synchronous-like code while maintaining asynchronous behavior under the hood. Benchmarks show it has comparable performance to Node.js. The author advocates for toolkits over frameworks and continuing development of common standards and packages.
