Bringing Node.js to Windows 10 IoT Core...or swapping out V8 for Chakra
- angersock 11y agoWe decided to fill this gap by allowing Node.js to take advantage of running with the Chakra JavaScript engine Bloody called it. EDIT: https://github.com/Microsoft/node https://github.com/Microsoft/node jajajajajajaja Maybe they could throw some developers at making gyp native javascript? EDIT2: Oh wow, the docs are waaaaaay more useful to embedders than V8: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn249536%28v=vs.94%29.aspx https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn249536%28v=vs.94%... MSDN continues to be a good friend to developers.
- michaeltyson 11y agoyea...this is big news.
- tracker1 11y agoI know that Windows 10 IoT core already has Chakra, but in terms of getting node working, I'd suspect there are a lot of binary modules in play... so I would think the question becomes, why not just get node proper (V8 and all) working, and signed? And for that matter, how will this work in tandem with the number of existing IoT libraries already in use from npm.
- anonbanker 11y agoand I'm sure there are no incompatibilities when one swaps out v8. and I'm sure this core works under Mac and Linux as well. You know, because the web is supposed to be a ubiquitous platform? otherwise, how is this not just more Embrace/Extend/Extinguish?
