> Node has always had a problem with favoring performance over robustness
I don't disagree with the gist of what you're saying, and I think you're correct. But the premise of Node being high-performance is perhaps more reputation than actual fact. I think it gets that reputation because it is higher-performance than some more popular options, but in the big scheme of things, it's but a medium-performance platform [1].

- olegp 12y agoAgreed. I benchmarked Node/V8 vs. the JVM and while Node has lower memory usage, Java is as performant while being more reliable, with less variance in HTTP response times, due to the better garbage collector. http://www.slideshare.net/olegp/server-side-javascript-going-all-the-way http://www.slideshare.net/olegp/server-side-javascript-going... - there are some graphs from slide 46 onwards.
