Hi guys I have published following to node.js's mailing list which I think may have interest to V8 users and developers:
node.js powers comet for Asia's largest microblog: http://groups.google.com/group/nodejs/browse_thread/thread/af3014b45fc1d53d The bottom line is that Plurk.com has used node.js (where V8 plays a big role) to scale a comet (server-push) solution to hundreds of thousands of simulations connections. The node.js solution is a rewrite from a Java solution (that used JBoss Netty). The new solution scales better and uses about 10 times less memory than the Java solution [it uses a little more CPU thought]. So all in all, thanks for V8, it rocks! And I can foresee that V8 will be a building block for a lot of future web-applications, especially as the web gets more real-time (Google Wave, Google Documents, Facebook Chat - to give some inspirations).
