`Node.js` and/or other Javascript offshoots' performance, stability and speed relative to non-JS frameworks (Rails, Django...)
Node.js is beating other platforms, sure. But it's not it's raw speed (V8), it's the sophisticated event-driven model which powers the node.js platform ;)
I find myself often needing performance & speed references for friends who still don't believe a Node.js or other Javascript-derived implementation or application can compete with those powered by Rails, Pure Ruby, .NET, Python and similar setups.
I have seen very impressive reports on this, with graphs and eyecandy, but when I need them, I can never find them.
So maybe we can use this question to build a list of viable resources for "selling" a tech person/manager on Node.js as a viable solution. Or add citable facts to the thread
Thanks in advance.
