While an interesting article in its own right, it has nothing to do with node.js, except that this happens to be a criticism of the way V8 works, which node.js is built on. However, they may not be using things in the same way he is, or there could be mitigating circumstances which make it possible for node.js to pull this off. (I don't know anything about node.js internals, I just know this article isn't about it, as the title indicates.)
Edit: This was written when the title was "The author of Nginx on node.js and why V8 is not suitable for web servers". It's since been changed.
I disagree. Where V8 can run is a core part of the deployment surface of node.js, so what server authors think about V8 and it's suitability for integration and deployment very much matter to node.js.
Agreed. The title is totally trolling for attention.
Nginx and Nodejs are very different. Nodejs was built on V8 from the beginning, while it would have to be grafted into Nginx somehow. Nodejs isn't Chrome but it's willing to pretend that it is - nginx isn't.
The title is a copy from a Reddit posting. I thought about changing it. Node.js is build on top of V8. It is better to get attention from Node.js experts so that others can get a clearer picture. Updated: Never mind, someone just change the title for me. The original title is "The author of Nginx on node.js and why V8 is not suitable for web servers.".
Right, this definitely seemed more like an article on V8 than on node.js. Though to be fair, the platform running node is arguably very important to node's implementation.
