Seriously it makes a pre-compilation just like the other tools, the only difference is you call it in an eval rightaway, which can be done with the others as well if you want to. I suppose you lose correct linenumbers and filenames in backtraces and errormessage due to this, don't you? > As a result, I can modify the code and test it without any delay, which > provide better productivity. because calling _node instead of node is a delay? > At the deploy time, it's easy to just create a tarball of current source > code, upload to the server, and deploy it. > If we use coffeescript or streamline, I have to do either: > a, Deploy _node to the server (only for streamline) > b, Precompile code into javascript you need the package in node_modules, thats all about it and is the same for all tools.

It has been a step forward to convince Bruno to use _js since it isn't exactly javascript anymore, but a mostly extended javascript alike, which is true for wind.js as well. -- Job Board: http://jobs.nodejs.org/ Posting guidelines: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Mailing-List-Posting-Guidelines You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nodejs" group.
