Ask HN: JavaScript Devs, have you ever built message driven systems?

I've been working on a service bus for Node (https://github.com/node-ts/bus) for writing message driven node apps, and am really keen to learn from JavaScript/Node devs what your experience has been like writing distributed/scalable node systems (message/http/other).

Message based systems offer a lot of benefits around decoupling, reliability and durability; yet it doesn't seem to be as popular in Node as it is in say .NET or Java.

Do you think this is because there's less in terms of framework support, because node isn't used on larger systems, or something else completely?
