Don't worry much about node, Twisted still beats it for async workloads and PyPI is still much bigger than npm.

- lee 14y agoI'm a big fan of twisted too. Can you show me the benchmark for Twisted vs. Node for async workloads?
- pjscott 14y agoI went looking, and found an experiment someone did a couple years ago, where he wrote a trivial "echo data over a socket" server and found that pretty much everything held up okay. http://oddments.org/scalestack-vs-node-vs-twisted-vs-eventlet http://oddments.org/scalestack-vs-node-vs-twisted-vs-eventle... Obviously this doesn't tell us much; a better comparison would be nice.
- lucian1900 14y agoThey'll both be bottlenecked on the system polling mechanism, barring any obvious deficiencies. They're both very fast and microbenchmarks won't show anything very relevant.
