One can use non-blocking IO in many languages, on many platforms. Node simply forces people to do so. Essentially forcing lazy/sloppy developers to be better developers. Non-blocking IO is in no way unique to Node however.

Sure there is and if you want something that has better language interoperability, look at my buddies project vert.x (http://vertx.io/)

There's a lot of idle time between such operations as I/O operations, database requests etc. Non-blocking I/O is powerful.
