Package Recommendations

- Servers (in order): express, hapi, sails, koa, loopback
- Ideally these would have at least 1 authoritative getting started with X blog post and 1 video
- Promises
- bluebird (performance), babel's built-in language implementation , q (feature-filled)
- ORM
- sequelize, mongoose, [node-orms2](https://github.com/dresende/node-orm2), [juggling db](https://github.com/1602/jugglingdb), [bookshelf](http://bookshelfjs.org), [waterline (from sails)](https://github.com/balderdashy/waterline)
- utilities
- lodash (mention mixins like string), [request](https://github.com/request/request), [lazy underscore](http://danieltao.com/lazy.js/)
- [nconf](https://www.npmjs.com/package/nconf) for hierarchical configuration

**What success looks like: Succinctness and clarity. Less is more.**
