Unless you want to ban most of the language then you'd still have to replace or integrate the event loop with libuv, which is probably not a small or easy job. If a future LiveCode has a more modular core you might be able to take just the bits you need.

Dynamically creating images is the sort of processor intensive task where Node performs badly. It would probably make more sense to have a separate LiveCode executable that can run in another process on another CPU core on the same server. You could signal it via sockets from the Node server, or even just communicate via the file system. >> On Tuesday, April 14, 2015, Jim Lambert <j...@netrin.com> wrote: >> >> >>> Mark Wilcox wrote: >>> >>> This is an interesting thread. >> >> >> Indeed it is.
