I love...I want to make one quick comment on speed.<br /><br />I love Nicholas and Steve and their work has been very informative but js vm performance has outpaced a lot of what they've said in the past about javascript performance.<br /><br />Their most relevant work to read today is related to DOM performance, which is still a huge problem and has barely changed since they began writing about it.<br /><br />Here's the thing though. IO performance optimizations have an order of magnitude difference compared to DOM performance optimizations.<br /><br />Alex Russell has been doing a talk on WebKit internals that addresses this in relation to the browser and what IO operations essentially block rendering.<br /><br />Optimizing IO performance characteristics in these new platforms, including node.js, isn't well documented or understood by most developers. node.js has attracted a lot of people from strong networking backgrounds that already have a deep understanding of this problem but it hasn't really been documented or even really blogged about.mikealhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04195135977430324921noreply@blogger.com
