Also, if i wanted my node application to behave like a traditional server i could just start a new child process with every request, right?

That would defeat the purpose of node, though. If it is I/O heavy, a single thread can handle lots of concurrent requests. When you write for node, you already pay the mental cost of all these callbacks, that investment would be wasted.
