I would've hoped you had more fortitude against the attacks on streamline then to start throwing around hastily designed benchmarks to prove your point. It sucks that the "sync-looking" advocates have to deal with the level of aggression they do here. I've expressed that to some people myself, even though I don't advocate these solutions either. But this is almost certainly not the way to win hearts and minds.
When you create an abstraction layer, it's almost always slower. That's just something you're not going to get away from. Even if the benchmark wasn't flawed, simply because you can contrive a scenario where it wins doesn't make up for the fact that it stills loses most of the time. Then on top of that, it becomes clear that streamline does some trickery in transforming to js that injects more cleverness. Hence the fact that your example doesn't require an explicit nextTick. So then you leave people with the feeling that if it is ever faster, it's because streamline has done some tricky optimizations in the background. In my opinion, people who are interested in streamline and fibers will already be prepared to take the performance hit in exchange for ease of use. A better argument would be that you're committed to making that hit as small as possible. And assuring people that a 2x difference won't often make a huge difference in practice. I agree with that, and I think it's easily defensible. This benchmark is not. :Marco On Wednesday, April 11, 2012 1:22:42 PM UTC-7, Bruno Jouhier wrote: > > https://gist.github.com/2362015 > > fibers: 10 times faster! > callbacks generated by streamline: almost 2 times faster!!!
