  I don't think node.js handles anything related to concurrency... what if you wanted to write a multithreaded raytracer in javascript?
  • boucher 17y ago
    Arguably you can use webworkers (available on V8 and JSC, and thus Narwhal on those platforms) for concurrency problems. Webworkers enforce no shared state though, they use a message passing mechanism. Not the greatest solution. Concurrency is important, but I think most server tasks don't require it. JavaScript doesn't need to be the 100% language to "win" it just needs to be the 80% language.

    HTML5-style Workers are coming to nodejs.

    Here's a javascript raytracer: http://www.slimeland.com/raytrace/ http://www.slimeland.com/raytrace/ Wouldn't be hard to implement the rendering part as WebWorkers.
