Very good point!

Well, you are right. After rethink and a few tests, I should update my post a little bit.

Hey man, you should really update this post instead of writing another (or at least add a disclaimer and link to the comment thread). It is super confusing to share misinformation publicly.

Deno has different performance to node because it a different implementation; the server internals are written in rust as opposed to C/C++, and hasn't been optimised heavily yet. A quick GitHub issue search actually shows that several recent PRs have improved performance lately, but I digress.

With respect, you really shouldn't be writing a blog post about performance if you don't know the difference between compile time and runtime.

Thanks for the comment. Sorry about that.
I should have done more research and make it more clear.

Nice one man! Reading this back, sorry if that comment came across a little harsh. I've read a lot about deno but haven't had the time to build much yet, so kudos. Keep on posting 🎉
