- Sanddancer 11y agoSame reason you should care that there are different web server engines, or that there are different programming languages. ChakraCore has a different set of pros and cons that you should weigh against to figure out what the best engine for your organization is, one of the examples being brought up elsewhere being that it has a better exception handler. One can and should occasionally benchmark against other stacks, or portions of stacks, to see if best practices then match up with current tech.
