OS2World Common Fund 2014 - Open for Proposals
Boris:
I'm pretty sure that no one but me needs Node.js for OS/2, but I contacted bww bitwise works GmbH and they're able to make a full port of Node.js, and the money raised by OS/2 World is enough to complete it, fully.. Misunderstanding.
So,
--- Quote ---- Node.js port - No developer
--- End quote ---
statement should be changed to
--- Quote ---- Node.js port - Bitwise works - Contacted about this.
--- End quote ---
. :D
;D

Hi Boris.
Can you explain a little more about why a Node.js port will be interesting. I had been reading about it, but I still need to know what is the potencial for this platform. For example, which applications we will be able to run on the platform.
I understand that Node.js (http://nodejs.org/) is a platform to build network applications, but which will be the relevant applications that can be ported once we have Node.js under OS2-eCS?
Regards
Boris:
I doubt Node.js will be interesting for somebody but me, but if you ask, here are some answers to your questions.
This is a JS interpreter with some extensions, so treat it like a "different PHP", so you will be able to run all scripts (without the neediness to port it) on OS/2.
Examples of using Node.js https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Projects,-Applications,-and-Companies-Using-Node
It is intended to work as a server, but there is also a node-webkit framework, which allows to build desktop applications with HTML, CSS and JavaScript.

Hi. I was checking one desktop application that was built with Node.js and node-webkit framework, which was very interesting for playing movies. That made me wonder if Node.js will be a good idea under this platform but with the node-webkit framework to have more desktop apps.
I'm checking the list: https://github.com/rogerwang/node-webkit/wiki/List-of-apps-and-companies-using-node-webkit

Martin, Node.js is also a requirement for Twister the decentralized P2P open-source analogue of Twitter.
