🚀 Node.js vs C++ Performance Benchmark

Can Node.js Be as Fast as C++?

This project explores the performance differences between pure JavaScript and C++ Addons (N-API) for CPU-intensive computations. By leveraging C++ modules in Node.js, we can execute tasks at native speed, making Node.js significantly faster for compute-heavy operations.

🛠 Features

✔️ C++ Addon using Node.js N-API for enhanced performance
✔️ Performance benchmarking between JavaScript and C++
✔️ Fibonacci sequence computation as a test case
✔️ Ideal for AI, cryptography, real-time applications, and data processing

📌 Installation & Setup

1️⃣ Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/moses000/nodejs-vs-cpp-performance.git
cd nodejs-vs-cpp-performance

2️⃣ Install Dependencies

npm install
npm install -g node-gyp

3️⃣ Build the C++ Addon

🚀 Benchmarking Results

For fibonacci(40), the execution times are:

Implementation	Execution Time
JavaScript (Node.js)	20-30 seconds
C++ Addon (Node.js)	~0.02 seconds

✅ C++ Addon executes ~1000x faster than pure JavaScript! 🚀
