In Node Needs an Abstraction Layer for JavaScript EnginesNode.js using Microsoft's Chakra JavaScript Engine
3 points · Open discussionThe problem with the way JXcore did the SpiderMonkey port is their extensive use of C++ macros - not unlike NAN for Node.js. This makes the code hard to debug and maintain. The Microsoft Chakra Node port is more elegant because they've mimicked the V8 C++ API making it much more likely that it will be merged into Node.js and IO.js. In time I suspect Mozilla and other javascript engines will make V8-compatible API shims similar to what Microsoft did:

Maybe they could throw some developers at making gyp native javascript?

Oh wow, the docs are waaaaaay more useful to embedders than V8: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn249536%28v=vs.94%...
