The way I understood it (and Bryan can correct me if I got it wrong, I know he still reads this mailing list), node ended up in SmartOS because of Fishworks. Fishworks was a skunkworks project to develop a storage appliance at Sun Microsystems. To develop the front end, Bryan used JavaScript. This appears to have been the beginning of infatuation with JavaScript and my hypothesis is that this is the reason why node.js ended up in SmartOS. What was the code name again? Wasabi? -- Empathy is still a core engineering value. ________________________________________ From: Mayuresh Kathe [[email protected]] Sent: Monday, October 30, 2017 19:42 To: [email protected] Subject: [smartos-discuss] request : history lesson : why Node.js in SmartOS? Hi, I have been wondering as to what be the purpose of having Node.js in SmartOS. I believe it's been there right from the very beginning. May I get to know more about it? Thanks, ~Mayuresh
