Thanks Ben, do you know if the incompatibility goes all the way down to google v8 or is the incompatibility is with nodejs itself? I guess I'm wondering what the effort would be to make POWER a supported platform and what your feeling might be that compatibility may occur at some point in the near future. I love nodejs but my company does mostly large scale enterprise apps on IBM Power Systems.
