Yes, and my frustration with the push toward node.js is that it seems to come in part from the "I learned js for webdev and I don't want to bother learning another language" impulse. I also think that's part of the motivation behind pushing everything client-side (i.e. into the browser). But I find javascript a very difficult language for writing business logic on any large scale. My fear is that if people only ever learn javascript then they won't realize there are better tools and we'll find ourselves pushed into hacking javascript more and more because it's all that's made available.
