Of all the popular programming languages javascript is probably the worst choice for computing intensive workloads. Pretty much all other languages, even scripting languages like perl or python, have low-level implementations in C or similar for cryptographic primitives.
Very true. I do however have to work with what I have and unfortunately that doesnt include any low level language experience. Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't NodeJS based around C and C++ implementations for things, then just resort to those implementations when the code calls for it?
I will just bite the bullet and do the processing via CPU it will only take a couple more weeks. I was just reaching for an alternative.
Thanks for the responses.
