"Long-running" does not always imply "I/O".
- davidw 16y agoYes, I know. I know how Erlang works and what makes it better. But I think that something like node.js really encourages people to not do stupid things like while(true) in actual code, which is why I maintain that, while it's not as good as Erlang, it may be "good enough".
- fictorial 16y agoI agree with you. Node.js is a practical in cases where your app is mostly glue between some client and some other service. CPU intensive apps can be offloaded to other processes (not the Erlang kind) making the driver glue again. So, yes, it works.
