Jason Smith commented on COUCHDB-1643:
--------------------------------------
A few more (starting to overlap a bit but IMO that is fine):
5. require() is not possible. There is no access to any functions/objects/APIs
except what is given. In fact, require() is to load from the ddoc, not Node.js.
6. Nothing from the "couch" side of the call stack is visible, e.g. `(new
Error).stack` is unhelpful
7. DOS is not possible, e.g. while(true) {}
> Switch to V8
