Dart won't be supported ubiquitously any time soon (if ever) which is why there'll always be a Dart->JS compiler. Why not just stick with vanilla JS or Harmony/ES6? I'd benchmark some bigger apps but they don't exist yet

..and here's the jsperf for the --optimize'd hello world vs. vanilla JS - http://jsperf.com/dart-hello-world-test-with-optimize/2 . 17k vs. 4M for me

Looks like someone added it in a pull request: http://random-inc5000.herokuapp.com/?callback=foo

Good for some quick business ideas.. If you're a node.js user, install the command line JSON pretty printer `sudo npm install -g json` and then you can do this: `curl -s random-inc5000.herokuapp.com | json`

I get simple scalability, server-client code reuse, easy realtime, and, despite what you or others may think, I like Javascript as a language. Node.JS was also a perfect fit for the scraping framework I wrote: https://github.com/chriso/nod

Only the minority gives a shit how many Hello World requests your stack can pump out. Some of us use node.js because it's a) got some decent libraries, b) makes realtime easy, c) uses the same code server+client-side reducing context-switch

the thinking that async code == callback spaghetti shit has to stop. There are plenty of async idioms that make callbacks a breeze.

how is this anything like express? See klein ( https://github.com/chriso/klein.php ) for a real PHP express port..

Yeah definitely - I'm waiting patiently for the EVAL stuff to make it into the main branch. Very excited to see what's possible now that atomicity can be retained with higher-level structures
48.
by chrisohara 15y ago
It's a higher-level abstraction. With most traditional clients you call commands like `hget(key)`, `zinterstore(key1, key2, key3)` or `mset(key1, value1, key2, value2)` Redback gives you the same power/flexibility but hides the complexity.

It's not the default mode, but you can select JSDOM as an alternative parser and interact with / scrape pages as a headless browser

by chrisohara 16y ago
Yes, it's something I'm experimenting with at the moment. You can select JSDOM ( https://github.com/tmpvar/jsdom ) - which has the ability to handle JS - as an alternative parser. Set the following two options: jsdom: 1 external_r

Node.JS seemed like a perfect fit for a few reason: 1. JS selectors make scraping _very_ easy. 2. Asynchronous is fast as it is, but the page is actually parsed as it's received - contrast this with other scraping solutions where you need t

Hey Ben, thanks for the write up on my framework. Firstly, the lack of documentation for more advanced scraping is something I plan on getting around to. You can incorporate proxies, scraping pages behind logins, etc. If anyone needs help

Exactly what I was going for when I released klein.php ( https://github.com/chriso/klein.php ) Sure, you could do the same thing with other frameworks, but most of the other frameworks are full of bloat and not particularly fast. I think it

The one liner is cool, but I guarantee that node.js's non-blocking IO will outperform perl any day of the week. Try scraping thousands of pages at once using perl..

Hey David, it wasn't a stab at your blog - your post was great - anything that builds some more interest in node.js is positive :) I just hate reading about people having trouble with JSDom and putting it down to the node platform. JSDom is
