It's not about execution speed. I think making JavaScript simpler and more consistent is super important for its ecosystem, there are just way too many tools, linters, build systems, package managers, different ways to import modules, type stuff, and low quality npm packages out there-it's a lot to handle! While other platforms are also tackling this issue, I gotta say, Node is doing a pretty good job of supporting the growth of the ecosystem.
I used Nodejs and Bun on the same code, and I was able to get 761k requests in Nodejs and whereas in bun 1.8 Million requests in the same duration. The workload was login, where we provide email and password in json to the server, search user in postgres, store the session in redis and return session in the cookie. Why would I use Nodejs when I can use the same code to get better results in other JS runtime?
I feel like it doesn’t really matter on a real production environment where you are not limited by the processing power of the runtime but rather by the bandwidth or other factors that are out of the development scope.

great talk Matheo, tks a lot
Am I the only one who noticed this weird drop in downloads at the end of the chart? How could this happen
It might be due to holidays
Your sound is a bit low.. or is it just me?
I like the glasses, make it a regular thing ;p

Is benchmark code open source? What NodeJS framework you use at that benchmark? Can you share more info? Thank you very much
