Hi Julien,

AFAIK there isn't any technical limitation preventing a similar effort built 
atop Node. In fact, Joel Martin has created a Node REPL based on self-hosting 
ClojureScript. See

Why wasn't Planck created using Node? Planck was created on a whim—an 
experiment to see just how quickly it could launch:

What about the long-term pragmatic aspects of Planck with respect to 
portability, Node, etc.? Those are mulled over here:
