Using node vs. some sort of Chakra-based system is a bit surprising given MS's history; but "embracing" node now is easier than trying to convert existing node devs to something totally new (or risking newly-minted desktop JS devs using *nix servers)
- selectnull 15y agoExactly, historically MS suffered from bad case of not-invented-here syndrome, so that they embrace google's V8 is what's surprising. It's good for everyone though, kudos to MS.
