I'm building desktop text editor that consists from two components: - UI, which is responsible for rendering menus, toolbars, cursor and textarea - parser which contains heavy processing logic
I don't want the UI to freeze each time when the data is processed by the parser, so I was thinking about two solutions: - move the parser code to shared Web Worker - move the parser code to NodeJS server and communicate with it via WebSockets I don't really like the Web Workers approach - I'm unable to get any debugging tools to work with it, there are many unexpected crashes and I can't use my module manager to handle dependencies. Are there any disadvantages of the second approach? Most importantly, could NodeJS+WebSockets be in any way slower than Web Workers? -- To view archived discussions from the original JSMentors Mailman list: http://www.mail-archive.com/jsmentors@jsmentors.com/ To search via a non-Google archive, visit here: http://www.mail-archive.com/jsmentors@googlegroups.com/ To unsubscribe from this group, send email to jsmentors+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com
