Holy shit i never knew node could be so fast.I once wrote a web scraper in python that scrapes about 800 pages on a website which took about 8 minutes to complete.I rewrote the exact same app in node and it only took 45 seconds.Even considering the fact that the node version sends 2 requests at once concurrently, i never expected it to be 10X faster.I’m really surprised by how fast it is and writing asynchronous code in javascript is so much more enjoyable than any other language imo.Definitely gonna switch from python to node for my future projects.
