does everyone mostly use node.js for the exchange api calls for charting?

If so which version builds properly on Debian systems?
If not, then how?

You can use any technology that doesn't suck. We use node.js from Windows (Cygwin in fact) for our internal needs, but Erlang, Haskell or old good Python would work. Even Perl POE or it's newer incarnations lol
