Luvit is supposedly aprox. twice as fast. Its still experimental though, and you lose some possible synergy of having the same language in client as in server. Luajit can keep pace with V8 and even supercede it sometimes in the shoot outs, albeit the former is a one-man project, but simply because Lua is much simpler language to implement than javascript. > Oooh ooh, maybe one possible addition?

Personally I feel node shines when you got client sessions that interact with each other, which is a pain to code with traditional LAMP, like the chat demo application everyone wrote in node.js -- Job Board: http://jobs.nodejs.org/ Posting guidelines: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Mailing-List-Posting-Guidelines You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nodejs" group.
