Speed isn't everything Johannes. If I need to serve 100 request
per second, and my chosen platform can do 150, then I no longer
need to worry about performance. I can focus on more important
things, such as security, stability, modularity, safety and
the general functionality of the application.

Since it is much easier to write safe, secure and stable code in
Ada compared to something like Javascript/PHP, the choice of Ada
is a no-brainer to me. Node.js might be faster, but it relies on
an inherently horrible programming language that is prone to errors
and _very_ hard to maintain when the application grows beyond a few
thousand lines.

I don't know anything about aolserver and naviserver, so I can't
comment on those.
