Multiple requests suck. Let me rephrase that: multiple requests really suck. The more requests you make, the more connections that are made, the more data that is transfered, the longer it takes to for your application to become responsive. Servitude helps you reduce the number of requests made for CSS and JavaScript down to one and injects it into the DOM for you in the order you request -- faster requests mean more responsiveness; more responsiveness means a better application.

It's been a few months since I released Bricks.js, and I figured it was finally time to talk about it. Bricks is a fast, and extremely modular web application framework built on top of Node.js that works a little differently.

I had been meaning to spend some time with Judy Arrays but I hadn't quite found a good reason to explore them to their full extent. While attending NodeConf I caught Marco Rogers' talk on C++ bindings for Node.js which gave me a fantastic reason to spend some time in the Judy world. A few days later I came up with this project: Judy Arrays in Node.js. Unfortunately, it's been about half of a decade since my last foray into C++, and at least a decade and a half before that via academia, so while all attempts have been made to adhere to best standards of Node.js add-on development, I cannot guarantee that everything is 100% correct and that there are no memory leaks.
