Node.js vs PHP
Posted: Sun Aug 22, 2010 5:19 pm
Hi everyone,
Lately, I've been really interested in something called Node.js. If you haven't heard of it, it is an awesome evented I/O framework for the V8 JavaScript engine. In this post I want to discuss about it. I'm just so fascinated with it that I want to know what everyone thinks of it. How do you think it compares to PHP or Apache? Is it as capable as PHP; can it do everything or more than what PHP can do?
Agh! I just wish I had some linux hosting to play with it.
PS: Has Node been discussed on devnet before? I haven't been able to find anything when searching.
