Sounds like your title is a distraction.

In retrospect the title is a bit too attention grabbing. If I had anticipated the reaction I could justly be accused of writing flame bait, but I did not expect it to get so much attention or debate - I thought just TCL people would be interested!

1. Node is not a language it is an implementation of a language, so the title would really be TCL vs JS or Dandelion vs Node...

2. In which case you would be opened up not only to performance benchmarks but usability, simplicity, and features - whether you are talking about the language or the implementation.

That being said, I have nothing against your opinions or work though and understand that your implementation is also from 2008 :)
