Asynchronous I/O can be achieved with Ada too, and that does not implies  
tasking, just wrapping what the OS provides for that. For the event  
driven‑model, that's a topic I don't know, so I'm not sure to understand  
what it means (neither I see if something prevent it to be designed in  
Ada).

Looking at the two snippets, I could not avoid thinking that's more  
comparing implementation of basic control flow and binding to system calls  
than comparing anything else. Also, that's too small to tell anything  
about a real sized application. Node.js may be fast with than very tiny  
example, but if that's really JavaScript, then that's probably still  
unmaintainable as things become more complex and big.

I wonder if this kind of benchmark really tells anything (the one with AWS  
vs Node.js).
