Well, not really: http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/u32/which-programming-languages-are-fastest.php All of the pitfalls of benchmarking aside, a JIT compiled language will never achieve the performance of optimized, compiled C. But, they probably will close the performance gap with Java (and .NET): http://blog.mozilla.com/futurereleases/2011/11/10/type-inference-to-firefox-beta/ As a server-side language, today's Javascript is lots faster than PHP, Python or Ruby. That contributes to the performance of node.js. > Salakhetdinov Shamil: > > > JavaScript is easy to learn > Are you kidding? :) ... > Here, I plug my favorite Javascript book: JavaScript: The Good Parts (Crockford) http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0596517742/wrrrldwideweb > This is JavaScript - > > http://svg-edit.googlecode.com/svn/branches/2.5.1/editor/svg-editor.html > Thanks for the link!
