Out of curiosity, what's the reasoning behind going with C++? Just for fun or is there some advantage to C++ over other languages for sockets?

I believe it's more for client side coding not node.js socket.io implemented in c++...

Ah, that makes sense. And I think I might have found an answer to my own question:
