Hi I'm in the process of evaluating a server side technology to build a new product from scratch. It must run on Linux, Win, OSX and on (Yocto-) Linux running on self-made hardware: An embedded system using Freescale P5020 PowerPC (and other CPUs out from that family).
While I would really like to use Node.js, I'm quite a bit concerned about the quality and availability of Node.js for PPC. I've searched the web and found the relevant GitHub repos for V8 and node for PPC. I also found the IBM node.js SDK (http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/web/nodesdk/) but I couldn't find any recent and reliable information about "current status" of the PPC port. Also, as I don't know how to ask questions to the PPC-Node.js guys, I'm writing to this mailing list. Is there anybody who can shed some light on questions like: - Will ALL relevant PPC related patches of Node and V8 (I know, this is not the V8 list, but V8 people may also read this list?) will be merged upstream? Or will they be "forks" for ever? - Is the current state of the PPC ports on GitHub production ready? (IBM seems to have 'production ready' versions - but the also mention that they send "most" patches to GitHub. How much is "most"?) - What's your advice/opinion about relying on Node.js for PPC? If I start programming with it today, it'd be nice if I have some degree of confidence that it'l continue to work the next 10 years. (I think I would have that confidence with Ruby on rails or Django/Python - can I have it for Node.js/PPC as well?) - Who out there is using Node.js on PPC? Is there a community? Any hints, advices, opinions, etc. are highly appreciated!
