Hi all, Very interesting. I think both node-webkit and app.js take excellent approaches. My understanding is that node-webkit goes all the way in merging node and webkit into one message loop and v8 thread, while app.jskeeps node and webkit (CEF) in separate threads and performs clever bridging of contexts between the threads. It seems app.js is robust and clean, but limited, whereas node-webkit aims to be a full blown application platform but may suffer from more stability issues due to the full merger.
Also, in app.js, I did not see any example of node being called out of the web page - I'm not sure its possible. All the examples I saw are window calls being made from the node side of the code. I'd be interested to know if these architectural differences seem right to other people? Thanks, Avner.
