It's interesting to see where they fail. I tried to parse the stackoverflow database (XML) using node. It was so slow as to be unusable (multiple hours). I did the same in python and it took minutes. Now of course I'm comparing libraries basically and I have no idea how poorly the node library was implemented but I'd be super curious to know if the this is something python excels as because of language features or if it's just poorly implemented libraries in node that make the difference.
