Node.js on multi-core machines

Question

Node.js looks interesting, BUT I must miss something - isn\'t Node.js tuned only to run on a single process and thread?

Then how does it scale for m

Answer 1

Future version of node will allow you to fork a process and pass messages to it and Ryan has stated he wants to find some way to also share file handlers, so it won't be a straight forward Web Worker implementation.

At this time there is not an easy solution for this but it's still very early and node is one of the fastest moving open source projects I've ever seen so expect something awesome in the near future.
