Okay, that’s fair. Not pointless.
Yet, if you can get equally good performance from CGIDEV2 and COBOL, or from XMLSERVICE wrappers and CGI, then why would RPG or COBOL developers want to go through the hassle of learning asynchronous programming with JavaScript and node? What do they gain from using node?
And, if node on the IBM i does not perform better than CGI under conditions of very high concurrency, then that may become an argument for running node on servers other than IBM i.
That’s the sentiment behind my statement. I was wrong to say it was pointless. But the attraction of node to many large companies is its performance under conditions of very high concurrency. These companies could have chosen CGI options. They didn’t. They chose node. If the performance potential of node on the IBM i has been reduced to being the same as CGI, that really undercuts what many companies are looking for in node.
Thanks,
