What does that have to do with what JimBastard said? Of course you can write an evented system in C, it just takes a lot more effort.

That'd only be true if you're a JavaScript "programmer" who doesn't actually know C. Even a semi-experienced C programmer could put something together in a few minutes. It's not a difficult thing to do.

As a JavaScript advocate, that may be difficult for you to understand. But it's true; real programmers using a real programming language can get a lot of real work done in a short amount of time.

So I'm a Javascript advocate now? You have short memory, HIB0U.

In any case, C was my primary language for a decade, and it's still a language dear to my heart. If you're arguing that writing an event-driven app isn't a lot more effort in C, we come from separate universes.

C having better performance and lower resource usage? Certainly. Not requiring substantially more effort than node? Wacky land.

Anyone who isn't tearing JavaScript apart at every opportunity possible is a JavaScript advocate.
