Then you can let Erlang supervise a pool of nodejs VMs. If you want to be fancy, you can implement a ping/pong protocol for detecting when the nodejs system has gone off the deep end chasing down endless chains of callbacks. :)</div>

Setting up a tcp socket may be slower or inefficient. I was thinking of doing something native. Both erlang and nodejs provide libraries(NIF) to call C functions but none of them provide an efficient implementation for calling erlang/nodejs functions from C or C++ as far as I know. Please suggest some ideas!</div>
