I've been intrigued by node.js since it comes up on HN so much, but this has really got me interested as this describes exactly a portion of a project I'm working on right now. In my case, the data would be copious and binary rather than instant message text -- anyone know if node.js is performant enough to handle that case?
- dhruvbird 16y agoI would be interested in knowing the results of your findings. So, from my brief understanding of node.js, it's well suited for such stuff. There's special handling in node for binary data. The answer probably depends on whether you want to blindly shuffle data (piping) or do something smart like interpret it, etc... A small experiment (profiled) which emulates your use-case would surely throw some light on the question.
