I havent heard anything more about node being ported to use chakra - I think they were targeting a pr by summer, is that still happening? Would love to see some of this performance competition on the server side as well.
Edit: looks like the pr ran into some opposition but im not sure what the final status is, ill have to read it again later when im not on mobile. https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/4765 https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/4765
- pygy_ 10y agoSee https://github.com/nodejs/node-chakracore https://github.com/nodejs/node-chakracore It is not considered an official port, but the repo lives in the Node organization.
- abritinthebay 10y agoNot so much opposition so much as technically issues that mean it needs to be carefully worked on with an eye to integration. It'll happen - but it requires careful planning and maintenance so it doesn't make everything worse.
- aruneshchandra 10y ago[I work on the Chakra team] So yes, for now Node-ChakraCore repo is accepted as part of the Node.js foundation and is being kept up to date with the master. We are also collaborating with several Node core members in order to carefully understand and plan the best way to bring it to the mainline. This effort is called VM Neutrality (or Multi-VM) for Node. You can find out more about this here https://github.com/nodejs/vm https://github.com/nodejs/vm
- aphextron 10y agoThis definitely seems neat, but is it really necessary? If you're doing CPU bound tasks with Node in the first place, you're doing something wrong. I can't see the tiny edge in performance being worthwhile for the headaches it may cause.
