Node.Js versus POE

Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I was think about POE because I have been told some time ago about how awesome POE is "POE this" and "POE that" and POE all over. In the mean-time nodejs appeared and it seems to me that for writing servers nodejs is really superior to anything Perl. Can someone make a report on this on why/what/when/how to disprove/prove this claim ? I cannot do it myself since I am a modest Perl user. I post under anonymous for commodity reasons.

I cannot do it myself since I am a modest Perl user. Is there a law against a modest Perl user learning another technology to see which is better for their own purpose? I don't think you should leave that decision up to anyone else. If you can take the time to learn them, (or just install/configure them at the least) maybe you can get personal insight as to which is better. Ask a Windows guy if unix or Windows is better, and they'll say Windows. Then ask them how many times they've used unix, and they might say 'Oh I couldn't get it installed'. (Yes, that's happened to me) So you can't assume that another person's opinion or experience isn't biased in some way.	[reply]

if there are many oppinions then bias is less important.	[reply]
