It's partly because of the performance of V8 (my SMTP server, Haraka, is about 8-10 times faster than the Perl version I worked on, Qpsmtpd, for example), and partly because of the "sync library" problem - with Perl (or Python) most libraries that access things on the network or on disk are written synchronously. That's not the case with Node - everything is assumed to be async. I've written a LOT of async code in Perl and C, and ran across this problem countless times. It really is a blessing to not have to worry about it. |
