The whole thing came from "someone responding to node.js fanboys who pretend Node.js is faster at everything". Turns out his response contained a small, but ultimately flawed benchmark, which in turn provoked the reaction of other Node.js people. Some of it happened on Google+ and various blogs.
However, your perspective as a console game developer is highly interesting to me - care to write a bit more about it?
Not quite sure I would call people who question trivial benchmarks "fanboys". I would call people who post trivial one-sided benchmarks the fanboys, regardless of the language promoted. IMHO.
Constructive blog articles rarely are tagged "rant" by the author. If your point is "stop all the madness, build things" just say that or echo people that already have. Wrapping it in anger, as it is currently written, you have created fodder for nonconstructive discussion.
