I'm at JavaOne, for my sins, and I've been attending all the sessions related to Oracle's new JavaScript implementation in Java, called Nashorn.
What initially caught my eye was that they're also porting the Node.js APIs, module system etc. in a project called Node.jar. Nashorn itself is going to be open-source, but it sounds like it's hard to get a hold of Node.jar even if you work for Oracle, and there are no plans to open-source Node.jar, but it could be another deployment option in the future and another way to get at multi-threading. These are what I can decipher from my scribbled notes: https://insin-notes.readthedocs.org/en/latest/JavaOne2012/meet_nashorn_bof.html https://insin-notes.readthedocs.org/en/latest/JavaOne2012/nashorn_node_jpa_persistence_bof.html They at pains to point out they hadn't looked at any other implementations to keep the JavaScript engine "pure", but it sounds like the Node port is trying to reuse as much of the Node JS libs as possible and Node's tests. Has the Node dev team been involved with or consulted about any of this stuff? --- Jonny -- 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.
