Re: [android-developers] Re: looking for HTML5 and javascript based sdk....

A fool don't look at the reality.

as nodejs nowadays is popluar in server side programming,
the benefit is very obvious.



as kls said:


"""

I only have an anecdote to add: I've recently reimplemented a Java calc server (finance) in Javascript (nodejs v0.6.8). WRT development time, the Javascript implementation was a breeze compared to the original Java implementation with far fewer lines of code. It was a breath of fresh air, really.

The Javascript-based server is able to calc through 2.4k trades/sec whereas the Java server handles 400+/sec on the same hardware using less memory. I wouldn't attribute the speed increase to raw V8 vs. Java 7 performance but rather to the implementation. The Javascript implementation uses far fewer data structures, does an order of magnitude fewer method calls and takes a more straight-forward and terse approach.

Needless to say, I'm very happy with the performance of node.js. And this, coming from someone who was Java only for many (9) years.

Please, just stop.  You are arguing with a fool!

What are you even talking about: Any JavaScript program is also going
to have threads, too.

You seem to be making this argument: Java has multiple threads, and
that makes the programs slow.

It sounds like all of this is coming from a completely uneducated
viewpoint on systems design, but there are a number of
issues.

Please understand, however, that all of the issues in Java carry over
(and worse) to JavaScript, you still need multiple threads, you still
need a garbage collector.

Please also quit citing other Java products as evidence that it has
anything to do with Android.  Forget Java, android doesn't run Java.
Android runs Dalvik.  Which is completely different than Java.  You
can translate anything into Dalvik, people usually translate Java,
there's no reason you couldn't also translate anything else.
