Converting to Node.js - How Much Effort Is It?

So if I want to make the move from PHP to node…

Do I basically start a new project and just re-build all my server actions?

If I then paste in all my html code will everything magically work?

Are there concepts in PHP that don’t translate like session variables?

Do APIs work well?

Can I easily call one server action from another as we can do in PHP using an API call?

Does the syntax of maths based calculations change?

Are there features available in PHP that are still missing in the node implementation or are buggy?

If it is like 2 days of slogging away to recreate the server actions, I may do it.

But if I’m going to enter weeks of hassle then I don’t have the time.

Or maybe I do it in a month’s time if things still need to stabilise?

I’d be interested to hear the community’s experience now many of you have used it!
