title: Run c/c++ code from nodejs
body: <p>Suppose I have a simple hello world file in c++ or c (whatever will help me use it easier in node.js, preferable c) and want to run it from a node.js file. What is the most efficient way considering that the file will be used to boost the performance (changing CPU intensive functions from node.js to c/c++).</p>
  
  <p>I came across the <a href="https://nodejs.org/api/addons.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">addons</a> but it seems to me, that in order to use it I'll have to convert a lot of code to bring it to that format. Is there an easier way?</p>
