I have a background with socket.io. Should I learn how to use vanilla web sockets or should I use µWebSockets until Why you should never use µWebSockets arrives ? Performance is not a priority right now, and premature optimization can hurt.

yeah, maybe a more useful title would be "µWebSockets significantly more performant than socket.io". this one's a bit alarmist, isn't it?

edit - interesting benchmarks though.

Honestly, the title is terribly clickbaity and OP should feel bad. Especially because it looks like a well estabilished library with 3.8k stars that doesn't need it.

But that makes me wonder: is Socket.IO so slow that can actually hurt performance in a "normal" use case? And when does it hurt?
