Honestly, WebSocket vs HTTP is a classic debate. If you're building something like a chat app or live tracking, WebSocket is the way to go. HTTP polling is just a hack—it works, but it’s inefficient.
That said, WebSocket can be overkill for small projects. Ever tried Socket.IO? It’s a nice middle ground—falls back to HTTP when WebSocket fails.
Latency issues? Yeah, sometimes. But most of the time, it’s smoother than HTTP long-polling.
