The whole thing came from "someone responding to node.js fanboys who pretend Node.js is faster at everything". Turns out his response contained a small, but ultimately flawed benchmark, which in turn provoked the reaction of other Node.js people. Some of it happened on Google+ and various blogs.

However, your perspective as a console game developer is highly interesting to me - care to write a bit more about it?

Not quite sure I would call people who question trivial benchmarks "fanboys". I would call people who post trivial one-sided benchmarks the fanboys, regardless of the language promoted. IMHO.
