Describing Socket.IO as "WebSockets, Fallback-support" seems a tad brief. It does heartbeats, reconnects, multiplexing and more. It also seems to be the De facto framework for do-it-yourself real-time webapp communication, something worth m

Majke, does SockJS do reconnects and heartbeats? I really appreciate the client automatically reconnecting to the server after a server restart. With that said, I agree with your sentiments on Socket.IO's API. It's also worth noting that So

Those are all excellent points. I think the fact that it actually increases the file size, is probably it's biggest drawback. However, I wonder if zip.js would reduce the base64 inflation factor?

The unfortunate thing about JS syntax highlighters, is that people reading your site via an RSS feed don't get the highlighting. On the other hand for some sites that isn't an issue.

It's even worse if you're in a 3-year contract (common in Canada). With that said, it's not to difficult to delay gratification and hold upgrades off for a few years.
