In node-webkit we just released an experimental feature for this -- the JavaScript source code is compiled to native binary with v8 snapshot feature. I believe the same thing can be done for Node.js See https://github.com/rogerwang/node-webkit/wiki/Protect-JavaScript-source-code-with-v8-snapshot Thanks -- Roger WANG Intel Open Source Technology Center https://github.com/rogerwang/node-webkit node-webkit: Call all Node.js modules directly from DOM and enable a new way of writing applications with all Web technologies. -- -- 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.
