I would be very insteresting to see a Chakra-based Node.js project for server side apps, so Linux would be my first vote :)

Microsoft is already working on Node, and it's actually already possible to run Node on Chakra. See https://blogs.windows.com/buildingapps/2015/05/12/bringing-node-js-to-windows-10-iot-core/ https://blogs.windows.com/buildingapps/2015/05/12/bringing-n... and https://ms-iot.github.io/content/en-US/win10/samples/Nodejs.htm https://ms-iot.github.io/content/en-US/win10/samples/Nodejs....

  It's just very rare to use a Windows VM in a cloud service environment to deploy services. This may change with the Docker support we are seeing promised. Powershell is definitely a workable remote shell. But it's not the case that this is sufficient today.

    Azure is the second biggest cloud provider in the world (after amazon) - and we (TipRanks) deploy VMs to Azure. It's a lot less common but I wouldn't call it `very rare`

      A lot of Azure use is with Linux VMs.

      Azure provides a massive number of Linux boxes. It's actually their preferred target, if you hear them tell it at Connect2015. I had a friend go there, came back talking about hallway discussions of Posh on Redhat.

  That's cool but only run on Windows 10 which limit its usage and hence the community. A widely used non-V8 Node.js would be a great project in my opinion.

    Give it time. When Node was new it didn't work on Windows, which limited its usage and hence the community. Now, Node is probably the most reliable cross platform language host. Write something for node, nearly anything, and if it works on your OS it'll probably work elsewhere too. There's no reason something similar couldn't happen with Chakra, especially now that it's open source
