I think what cracks me up about this conversation is that it's an almost verbatim repeat of a conversation I had on reddit a few weeks ago.

There's a certain segment of the developer population that I don't think realizes just how fast C and C++ are. Javascript is _relatively_ fast when compared to other dynamic languages, but not when compared to C, C++, FORTRAN, etc.
