What Hacker News says
4 sourcesI wrote a very simple one called MCMS that runs on Node.js and RingoJS (Rhino on the JVM): https://github.com/olegp/mcms
In Static Site Generators compared.I've found the traditional synchronous approach I am familiar with from Ringo (http://ringojs.org) a better fit for general purpose server side work, so I've made it possible on Node with the help of node-fibers.
Common Node (https://github.com/olegp/common-node/) gives you the best of both worlds: it's easy to develop in & debug just like Ringo yet has low memory usage and is easy to integrate with existing Node libraries.
Here's a very simple CMS I wrote in it: https://github.com/olegp/mcms
Here's a canonical blog example that also shows the use of the synchronous Mongo driver: https://github.com/olegp/notes
In Node.js isn't a silver bullet, but it's still a bullet.MCMS: Minimal CMS in server side JavaScript
