I'm sure someone smarter than me could think up of a plan, but it seems like a huge amount of work. One of the strongest points about node is the amount of small reusable libraries available. They aren't about to ditch that.

(both of those are slightly out of date, syntax-wise, but are still conceptually current, IIRC)
