I thought that was a great video man. I think we all know the answer already for a Python vs Go speed comparison but I would love to hear your take on stats like that between the two plus the commentary of course 😎. A coworker mentioned a while back he would “check out Go” but I was already part of another project using Django and then Vue JS for the dynamic front end stuff. Cheers tho man. Excellent video

Dude... your energy is awesome. Please keep these types of videos and style of videos coming.

I would have loved to have seen the results as you scale up on instance size. GO (in general) has a smaller memory footprint and overhead compared to Typescript. Considering the instance size was so low, I would not be surprised if the Typescript application quickly hit the point where it could no longer keep what it needed in memory and had to start allocating/deallocating it's resources, causing a cascading slowdown. I have worked in GO for years and I would 100 percent say it is my favorite language 90 percent of the time; however, GO's loose similarities with C and comparatively sparse built in functionality (what do you mean there is no built in contains?!) still cause it to be seen by some as arcane and unapproachable. This use case does scream in GO's favor as a language designed to underpin Google Cloud where optimizations for cases like these with heave socket traffic etc is high up on priority.

Being DISGUSTED by TS performance is a wonderful start to the work week.

JS dev here. Thank you for making the video, it's an interesting way of comparing the performance of both runtimes. I noticed that in your JS server you're using a forEach function to iterate over the array of messages, this is generally considered a lot slower than loping over an array with a regular for loop. I don't think it would make Node outperform Go, but it would improve the performance of the Node quite a lot.

My guess is that it needs more than the memory available, (1GB of memory seems so much though for this benchmark, or maybe I didn't really understand it. In my world I've never used more than a few MB of memory, usually even less than 1MB of pre-allocated memory while processing a few GB of audio data per second) and deals with it by many unnecessary re-allocations? At least it seems it hits some barrier and then deals with that very poorly.

Yeah. I'd be out of a job if it wasn't still used :-) If you have a BFF scenario and your web devs are js experts then ok. This is the situation where I am...but in the end the front end devs never took ownership and it was left to the backend devs anyway The other use case I guess is server side rendering of a web app

@@MrSkinbad yeah, we have node for React SSR which is the space I'm in for my current gig. But the backend-backend is in Go and Java/Kotlin

I love this. Continue, my man!

I do wonder how much impact async/await has.

My guess its non trivial. But!!! I want to try it out. I also want to try rxjs.

would love to see that impact as well!

From my experience Go is much easier to learn and write than TS/NodeJS, but I'd argue it's much harder to maintain due to duplication of code. It's very similar to React Native as it's incredibly easy to get started, but once you start doing slightly more complicated things it gets messy which is why I prefer languages which support DRY. If I needed to make a basic WS server I'd use Go, but if I wanted to make a larger WS server I'd reach for Rust. Just my opinion though.

Yeah Go is very simple, but it’s sometimes *too* simple

Would definitely be cool to see a video on RxJS next. Also, perhaps an example of what you replace RxJS with when you remove it from existing code. Thanks!

RxJS has a high chance of making it in the next video.

Really enjoyed this. You got a new sub.

This doesn't seem to be TS problem based solely on the graphs: there seems to be a difference in the Big-O of the two implementations somewhere, as the TS graph starts increasing at a completely different pace based on the N. I couldn't get your code to build but maybe this is something worth looking into?

Go will always win, ITS THE BEST

Awesome video! I'm new to Go and Node, but just researching them and wondering if clusters and workers could help Node's performance here? Would love to see them implemented(if they weren't already) to see what Node could do fully maxed out

Great job Prime 👍🏼 thanks ... see you in Twitch GO!

So I just find this video and looks great, thanks for the content, this in particular will guide some of my desitions for the architecture for a new project. Ofcourse I will explore you chanel for more content. and hopping to find part 2.

This was very good! I am waiting for Rust (or other common languages) to kick in. Can't wait for part 2!
