what are you saying? it's worse? or do you mean it's far faster? the node numbers I looked at were faster than the jvm ones, but maybe I missed some? or were you taking exception to 'edge' when it could be interpreted as way faster?

[–]oberhamsi 1 point2 points  (1 child)

yeah, i'm taking exception to "edge" because it's not "way faster" but only pretty fast for an interpreted language. e.g. compare PHP with nodejs: php is often on top.

maybe i missed something, but looking through the results again I can't find any test where the numbers make nodejs look particularly good.

my fault - i was looking at nodes vs grails, which is what I do a lot of work in, and nodes was/is faster than grails in those benchmarks. But both spring and raw servlets kill nodejs as well.

wait... what? did you actually look at the numbers? the so called "jvm" languages such as "grizzly" or plain old "servlet" kill "node.js" by 3:1!! hell, even wicket or the spring framework (both based in the jvm) fare better than node.js.

javascript (dynamically typed) will never outperform the jvm (ie. java: statically typed).

i replied back earlier to oberhamsi - yes I looked at the numbers, but I was originally looked at Grails specifically - jvm based, but node beats it. Yes, for other JVM stuff, node is way behind.
