10 things I learned making the fastest JS server runtime in the world by Paulo Lopes | JSConf EU

[@DavidGilbertson]

Hey I recognise that title. Great talk, I can't believe you didn't get a round of applause when you showed where ES4X was in the benchmarks!

[@TJ80ify]

cant get enough of this stuff

[@sj82516]

Amazing talk and experiment!. But I am wondering which part make es4x so fast comparing to node.js? Because as speaker mentioned the GraalJS run as fast as v8. Does the performance gain from replacing libuv or run on GlaarVM ?

[@bamne123]

Can anyone clear my doubt? Nodejs runs on Single Thread, yes its slow irrespective of Async and Event based. But when we run Nodejs in Multithread environment using PM2 then, what will happen with respect to ESx4? Did anyone tried benchmark for this?

[@franklemanschik_de]

The NodeJS Cluster module already got used in the tests.

[@RedShift5]

The express/node code doesn't use multiple processes while the es4x does, so not really a fair comparison.

[@MatijaHan]

I thought he was using the example with cluster.fork() for the benchmarks?

[@franklemanschik_de]

NodeJS Cluster module is used in the benchmarks

Not everyone hated it. For some, the reverse was true

By no means javascript is as fast as C.

Java? JVM? Fast???? ????? ? ?? ? this is mindblowing. nodejs must be a mess
