> ''' Another great aspect of node.js is the ease at which you can develop soft real time systems. By that I mean stuff like twitter, chat software, sport bets or interfaces to instant messaging networks. ''' Is there any evidence that this is actually true? > ''' Combining this with node's radical model of non-blocking I/O, you have to try very hard to create a sluggish application. ''' NodeJS's model is hardly radical, it's several decades old. And it's very easy to create sluggish Node, just use a while loop. EDIT: The relative instability of Node (as a codebase) is also left out it seems.
