Is anyone aware of a module which would allow most C/C++ libraries to be accessed from node.js apps with minimal work?
Just brainstorming, I imagine this could be done by loading the library in a generic process that provides an efficient IPC service. Library-specific glue code to handle IPC msgs would be confined to that process, and not use the (arcane) V8 api. A generic node module would provide the IPC client. I've written or contributed to a handful of C++ glue modules for libraries and they're a pain to write and debug. Glue and library bugs can crash node. And glue modules by different authors look different, so they're hard to comprehend and extend. Pointers?
