Re: [EXTERNAL] Re: ibm_db node module and IBM Data Server Driver

Hard to believe that a technology that is interpreted at its heart would outperform compiled programs.

JavaScript is supposed to be compiled to machine language by the V8 engine in Node.JS. Can't run any faster than machine language.

Is this not true for the IBM i?

Again, I'm not saying CGI is a bad decision. I'm sure it works perfectly fine in many cases.

If a company wants to handle very high volumes of concurrent requests quickly (think Walmart, eBay, PayPal or Amazon Brand Stores), then node may perform better than CGI. We would like to choose the technology that can better handle any amount of growth.

Reasoning to avoid CGI ?

Still smokin fast after all these years and you might get your COBOL team to progress.

You could create web services using COBOL (or RPG) as well, if that's the main programing language.

Easily send JSON (or XML. blech...) data back to the requestor. All you'd really need is YAJL or something similar.
