Well actually, the JVM is probably the most potent platform when it comes to async I/O, not only because the standard nio library and the high-level wrappers, like Netty and Mina, are very mature, but also because you can compose blocking and non-blocking pieces of functionality like you cannot do with Node / V8.

Checkout Akka, it's awesome: http://akka.io/
There are very few libraries.
Are you trying to say that there are very few libraries for something that runs on the JVM?
There are few async libraries.
That hasn't been my experience.
