[AccessD] Burn-out

Hi Ken:

I was describing just the V8 engine and not in relationship to JavaScript
but the two being used as a web server, using the wrapper Node.js are faster
than either IIS or Apache.

I was just reiterating some other programmers observations when describing
the V8 engine (build it Java). It of course has been highly optimized, fully
compiled/crunched and is an example of how master programmers can push an
application to its zenith.

That is a great link there and I have bookmarked it.

Jim

Well, not really:

t.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):

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.

Here, I plug my favorite Javascript book:

Thanks for the link! Very interesting.
