"...one day your washing machine, stove, or even car infotainment system will run on webOS"[1]
If this is truly the direction they're heading then webOS is dead to me anyhow. Any further courting of developers is just salt in the wound.
edit: Don't get me wrong, I'm all for open sourcing Enyo and webOS, I just get the complete opposite vibe from HP's actions this week. They've basically said "screw you" both to die hard consumers and developers of the webOS platform.

- masklinn 15y ago> I thought most of webOS was built on somewhat high-level web technologies like node.js? Yes. Enyo is webOS's second-generation SDK and development framework (replacing the original Mojo), and it's a javascript framework. FWIW, during the original presentation of Enyo (late 2010) it was described as "for resource-constrained devices" where "resource-constrained devices" are the original Pres: 500MHz CPU core and 256MB RAM.
