Do a full rewrite of some ten years old software in any language and it's very likely to be faster. Architecture and software engineering made it faster, not Node. Had they used brainfuck and gotten better perfs, would you have praised brainfuck?
- brndn 11y agoYou are just speculating and can't possibly claim that the Node played no role in their performance/productivity increase. I'm sure they improved their architecture and fixed mistakes, but they didn't switch to Node for no reason. They could have rewritten in the same language.
