You can get it for free if you download the Node.js beta. I've been
using it and it's sweet. A major issue is it's 64-bit only which may be
a blocker if you want to call legacy code.
That's merely forward-looking, in contrast to a dismaying residue of
24-bit dependency in z/OS.
Lot's of z/OS services don't have 64-bit interfaces.
It also only runs in z/OS UNIX so you can't compile using JCL.
But you can run z/OS UNIX with JCL: BPXBATCH, BPXWUNIX,
Rexx SYSCALL facilities, ...
True but your source code must reside in the z/OS UNIX file system. Not
a problem for me but maybe for some sites.
