How does this differ from MacClients in apache, or process limits on CGI? I agree with you, but don't see how this problem is specific to node...

- jerf 15y agoIt isn't specific to Node. What's specific to Node is that there's a whole bunch of hype convincing people that Node is the epitome of multitasking, when in fact it's just yet another event-loop based system, subject to the same foibles. The same very well known foibles. Node isn't a bad technology and I don't hate it. Well, I personally hate working in the event-loop paradigm (due to abundant experience) but that's no discredit to Node, which simply is what it is. The hype is toxic. The hype is basically full of flat-out lies. It teaches people that the state-of-the-art as of 1990 or so is the state of the art today. The hype claims Node is blazing a new path in the field of concurrency, when in fact it's traveling a 4-lane highway with fast food and hotels, while putting blindfolds on its partisans to hide them from the fact they're actually smack dab in the middle of civilization.
