Yeah, but in which software's favor?

TCL has been battle-tested for decades, even in industrial automation...

Now, this particular server might be just some guy's quick project, but Node also started as a ho-hum experiment...

Right but I believe the point was that this http implementation was less battle-tested than node's and that if you're willing to strip away features from the node version, it too could outperform node's version in a microbenchmark.
