There are few points which I think give Node.js an edge over PHP.
1. Speed - Node is asynchronous which means there are less database I/O
delays. It can also handle multiple connections faster.
2. Javascript on the server - Using the same language on the browser and
server is easier for the developer. Plus the javascript interpreter V8 is
very fast, which makes javascript much faster on the server.
Choosing node.js over php depends on the demand of the application. But I
also feel that by studying the recent trends and shifts in web development,
node.js presents an exciting future for the application.
There are still some things regarding OGV I am not very clear with.
Harmanpreet, can I contact you for clarification?
