This is exactly where I want to go with RingoJS: Many threads with private mutable scope, global read-only scope, worker/actor based thread interop, one event loop per thread. Curr…

I think the opinions expressed in this article are valid. However, I don't think the inability of current JavaScript to do async I/O without callbacks is Node's biggest problem. As…

The only way to make it expand forever would be to support recursion. Would be interesting what texts you could come up with that. Kind of a textual Mandelbrot set.

Another important one is this: FOU: field-of-use restrictions (in the TCK license). http://skife.org/java/jcp/2010/12/07/the-tck-trap.html http://jcp.org/en/jsr/results?id=5111

Updated!

I just found out the same. So I guess it must be some intra-VM data shifting? Anyway, I'll update my posting accordingly.

Yes, --trace-gc shows about 10 Mark-sweeps per second, each taking around 13 ms (no compacts though as far as I could see). But are those ~15% spent in GC are enough to explain the…

You are right about the title. That "not ready for the server" is a foolish phrase. I'd change it to "not tuned for the server" if I could, but it looks like it's impossible to cha…

Just an educated guess. If you're allocating tons of objects and strings and your app gets slow, it's very likely to be the GC. But I don't know V8 well enough to say for sure.

Most of these questions are answered in my original, longer post: http://hns.github.com/2010/09/21/benchmark.html . The JSON I'm parsing is just objects with short string propertie…

I'm the author of both the original article and this HN posting - and yes, I am biased, since I'm the main developer of RingoJS (the other platform in that benchmark). I've made th…

I submitted a Ringo talk to JSConf.eu 2010, haven't heard anything back from these guys so far. If that fails, I may apply for next JSConf.us. We'll get the word out there eventual…

We use Jetty's ability to do both sync and async HTTP in RingoJS. I've written about it here: http://hns.github.com/2010/07/02/versatility.html I think Netty is great if you want f…

I know, i read that post. I'm planning to do a Node/Ringo comet comparison soon, and memory usage/max connections will be a part of that.

Comparing comet performance between node and ringo should be interesting. Ringo uses jetty/cometd, so it should scale pretty decently as well. My guess is that node will use less m…
