That moment when you realize that if you want fast with nodejs you should know cpp

More details!

@lostpirate long story short. We need to parse huge csv files (1mb-1gb) and format them(i18n of content, l10n of date/numbers/percentage). All data should be streamed through system with zero letency. Also there is a lot of concurrent requests. All existing modules for csv parsing and formatting date/numbers are slow. Even we will write custom implementation of it, piping of data through nodejs' streams is still bottleneck

I've heard Phoenix / elixir is good with concurrency

@aswinramakrish my teammates have already created POC with go which is x36 faster than current solution

@aswinramakrish this proves one again that you should have cpp in your pocket ;)
