Is this guy confused about threads in node.js? http://letsnode.com/example-of-what-node-is-really-good-at
Recaping, he says that traditional thread programming incurs in performance penalties because of cost of context switching and thread creation. AFAIK, it's true that node.js is hiding threads from end developer, but it's still using them internally. For example an HTTP call to a website uses a thread. Node.js is not magic, otherwise how can it execute portion of code asynchronously without using any threads?
