What about nodejs? Do you think the performance would be better with javascript compiled to c?

  Absolutely. Node.js is still interpreted by V8 as far as i know. The runtime libs provided by node.js are all written in JS. However, With this initiative, all the runtime libs will be implemented in c as well.

    V8 is a JIT interpreter. The performance benefit might be less than you would think.

      thanks for the input. Will certainly look into that.
