"Everything feels natural"... now thats a scientific argument how something "feels"? I wont go in this benchmark gaggle, but I agree with Marco Roger, the level of agression from the sync-haters is ridiculous. And both sides eider gaggle around benchmarks, or throw in baseless general statements like: "When you create an abstraction layer, it's almost always slower.". Thats an argument in 2012? Haven't decades of compilers and optimizers tought us (I'm looking at the Assembler vs. C arguments back in the 1970s-1980s) that eventually a compiler/optimize can work way beyond human abilities to micro-optimize things, and we'd rather work on a higher level developing solutions instead of dealing with the minuscule things how the electrons are moved around in the most efficient way? So please everybody get a cool head. Syncs are not going to kill you, neither is anybody going to be forced to use them, neither is async everything that uber cool what you think it is, neither is it not going to change the live of everybody. -- 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.
