I wouldn't. And here is the problem JS folks are having.. Real Time does not mean "happening as fast as possible" but "deterministic". If I tell the process to turn something on and off every 1ms, the rt system will do everything in it's power to do it.

> Real Time does not mean "happening as fast as possible" That's not the meaning that's being used here. Here it means "events are shown at the time when they occur". Which is a very common meaning of the expression "real time".

  No, the meaning used here (and to the OP's defense every JavaScript/WebSockets library uses this definition) is a persistent connection where events are pushed instead of pulled.

    That is the mechanism by which events are shown at the time when they occur.

Well, that's not a meaningful distinction, because if I tell a javascript web app to turn something on and off every 1ms, the javascript web app will do everything in it's power to do it also. It just doesn't have much power to do it. The real distinction is that a RT system is designed through and through to have a lot of power to do it.
