- Illniyar 10y agojavascript engine provided by the OS, in iOS it's JavascriptCore, in UWP it's the chakra engine. Not sure what it is in Ubuntu, probably v8 packaged with the executable. In either case, it's not using node or v8/chromium .
- vmateixeira 10y agoSorry about my uneducation but if v8 is running standalone isn't this similar to having node running on the OS?
- Illniyar 10y agov8 is just a javascript engine, node.js is a platform built on v8. Node.js adds various standard native modules - mostly various IO (file, tcp etc...), a way to load other modules, access to the underlying OS (environment variables etc...). running v8 alone is akin to running the browser without html or the dom api, you basically can compile and run javascript functions, but can't do much with it.
