Comment on Would you use JavaScript compiled to C for your server applications

Comments

With servers being a commodity these days, I can only think of rare use cases where this would be helpful vs just scaling horizontally behind a load balancer. Also, in most real world systems I have seen, the real bottle neck is in the I/O and rarely in the business logic or server application level.

Thats very true. The plan was to give the user heavy asynchronous IO functionality that appear to the user as making a simple ajax call with a callback function. Provides the developer asynchronous functionality on the server side. Scope variables and so on are all handled behind the scenes.
