Comment on Where is server side JavaScript? by Hong Liang

Hong Liang — Wed, 14 May 2008 17:28:06 +0000

Hi guys! I’m very happy to see this post which let me know so many people are interested in server-side javascript. I have been working on a SSJS MVC framework for several weeks but at the moment there are something that prevent me from moving on. One of them is performance. Here’s the situation I meet right now.

My framework uses JDK6 and Jetty as servlet container. JDK6(aka Mustang) has its own javax.scripting feature so I don’t need to embed Rhino by myself. Jetty is very easy to embeded into other application. After all basic work had been done, I tried a simple code like this:

var str = “”;
for(var i=0; i (23.493ms)
1. run action invocation(23.283ms), 99.1%
2. StringView(str: value_0value_0value_0value_0value_0value_0) execution(0.21ms), 0.1%
23:32:44,316 INFO web request “index2″ —> (44.282ms)
1. run action invocation(43.585ms), 98.4%
2. StringView(str: value_0value_0value_0value_0value_0value_0) execution(0.19ms), 0%
23:32:47,178 INFO web request “index2″ —> (14.699ms)
1. run action invocation(14.507ms), 98.7%
2. StringView(str: value_0value_0value_0value_0value_0value_0) execution(0.13ms), 0.1%
23:32:47,546 INFO web request “index2″ —> (14.684ms)
1. run action invocation(14.497ms), 98.7%
2. StringView(str: value_0value_0value_0value_0value_0value_0) execution(0.13ms), 0.1%
23:42:24,005 INFO servlet… —> (0.915ms)
23:42:24,009 INFO servlet… —> (3.133ms)
23:42:24,012 INFO servlet… —> (0.962ms)
23:42:24,014 INFO servlet… —> (0.876ms)
23:42:24,023 INFO servlet… —> (8.026ms)
23:42:24,026 INFO servlet… —> (0.932ms)
23:42:24,029 INFO servlet… —> (2.451ms)

We can see clearly that “index2″(SSJS request) cost 10-20ms for each request on average, while servlet only did that in 1-2ms.

I’m really sad now. Should I continue to work on it? I’m also a little tired of Java, which in my opinion always turns simple things to complex. I’m considering to use PHP, not Java any more.

Comment on The Cult of the Presidency by Jim Lippard

There was one point during his talk in Phoenix when he made a comment about someone at the Brookings Institution worried about the loss of trust in government, and he suggested that this is actually a good thing.

I agree that loss of trust in the government makes sense when the government doesn’t merit that trust, but I’d much rather have a limited government that follows the rule of law and does merit trust than one which is thoroughly corrupt and doesn’t follow the rule of law. A corrupt, untrustworthy government has negative impact beyond the government itself.

Funny timing. Last night I went to a party which had an “open mike” phase. After a couple of lame attempts at standup comedy, I thought, I might do better than this by reading selected blog posts!

Instead I got up and sang a song (the hostess having previously prodded me), which was politely received.
