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=E2=80=91model, that's a topic I don't know, so I'm not sure to un=
derstand  =

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 cal=
ls  =

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 A=
WS  =

vs Node.js).
