node-ffi lets you write JS that crashes node, because you are manipulating low-level constructs from JS. That's rather worse than having C++ glue code crash node. Also it doesn't seem to be widely used. Library users need a scheme that performs well and can't crash node. Needing some glue code in C++ for each library isn't necessarily a burden, so long as that code is readable. -- -- 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.
