[Ottawa_users] Node

[Fabien Ancelin]

It is not that Java Script is not cool. It brings a lot of cool stuffs on a
table. But within a browser, it is not the latest fastest language on earth
for many reason including DOM manipulation and resource sharing. Chrome is
actually using the V8 engine which is the same used by Node (
https://developers.google.com/v8/intro). Things are different for each
browser. Jerome would need to comment on web assembly. I got the gist of it
through his explanation and that seems cool but I haven't played with it
yet.
