IO-intensive (what this module would be used for) != CPU-intensive. When considering "pure" code in CPython, YARV or Perl, JavaScript easily out performs all of those, when thinking of dynamic languages which the Node community would be mostly comparing against. Obviously compiled and statically compiled languages are a different ball park in terms of both performance and culture.
- Yokohiii 10y agoWell isn't that a reason to compare against real competitors instead of showing off against the ones you can beat?
- roryrjb 10y agoYes definitely, just really pointing out that the Node community probably has more in common to those languages community and motivations than the C++, Java, Haskell community (just to pick some examples) for many differing reasons.
