Yes, but JavaScript is still a dynamic, garbage collected language.
- 1st1 10y agoMost of nodejs internals are in C++ on top of libuv. Only a thin layer of JS interfaces wrap that. Python is also a dynamic, GCed language. uvloop is built with Cython, which uses the Python object model (and all of its overhead!), and CPython C-API extensively (so it's slower than a pure C program using libuv).
