Re: Is that possible to port nodejs with gecko javascript engine?
I believe JXCore has a version (listed as beta) using our JS engine. --lars On Sat, May 16, 2015 at 8:06 PM, Yonggang Luo luoyongg...@gmail.com wrote: I've found Microsoft already done that. ___ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform ___ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform

zpao also did spidernode a few years ago before he left. - Kyle On Sat, May 16, 2015 at 11:14 AM, Lars Hansen lhan...@mozilla.com wrote: I believe JXCore has a version (listed as beta) using our JS engine. --lars On Sat, May 16, 2015 at 8:06 PM, Yonggang Luo luoyongg...@gmail.com wrote: I've found Microsoft already done that. ___ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform ___ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform ___ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform

Are you referring to what's mentioned here: http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/news/2408531/microsoft-confirms-it-will-make-nodejs-play-nice-with-window-10-because-iot ? Has Mozilla joined the Node.js Foundation? Or have plans to? I think that would be a prudent thing to do at this point, given the foundation may end up having a significant influence on how JavaScript and its ecosystem evolves. ___ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform

Now it's available for Node applications. The latest JXcore (Github) embeds SpiderMonkey in addition to V8 JavaScript engine. As you might know V8 was able to run ASM.JS codes without much problem but there was no optimization or performance gain in place (actually it is even slower). As a result, it never made any sense to use ASM.JS code on a Node.JS application. Since JXcore has SpiderMonkey in place (in addition to V8), now it's time to show a basic sample.

NodeJS has a strength in being easily extensible by native modules, but it sucks in shared hosting environments, because the native stuff has to be trusted by whoever runs the server. Used because reimplementing in JS would be too slow or too much work. Both are addressed by asm.js, and would be persuasive to get members of the NodeJS community to switch to our version.
