>>some people might think "well I need to go faster than Node... so do I need to go to C? Java is slow too. But the C library ecosystem is _rough_...."<<

They would be utterly mistaken on all accounts.

That "all" makes for a bold claim.

"well I need to go faster than Node..."

.NET is generally faster than Node.js, at least based on most benchmarks I've seen.

" so do I need to go to C?"

Is there any other official/stable extension mechanism for Node?

"Java is slow too."

That one, I agree, is false. Java is at least as fast as .NET.

"But the C library ecosystem is _rough_...."

The C library ecosystem is very rough. The lack of memory management and the overall creakiness of C showing its age are easily apparent.
