Original author here -- thanks to everyone for the feedback. Some time has passed since this was originally written and the remaining languages were never updated to improve the safety of the signature verifications. The original reasoning behind this post was to provide a single reference for signature generation and verification in some common languages -- something I struggled to locate myself. Admittedly, I should've provided warnings about using simple and hardcoded keys in the examples, which were done that way for readability. While there is still a lot of debate about the ability to perform true constant-time comparisons in many of these languages (https://bugs.python.org/issue15061, https://github.com/joyent/node/issues/8560) I agree that for those who would be otherwise using the unsafe string comparisons, the benefits certainly

outweigh the slightly added complexity. The updated gists are available in the post to anyone with comments or improvements. Cheers!

This is great news, but aren't there bigger fish to fry with really supporting node.js & npm on Windows? The 255 character path limit bug has been around for a long time and still unresolved/broken on Windows (see https://github.com/joyent/node/issues/6960 and https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/5641). Suggestions to fix it on the Windows side have been closed too: http://visualstudio.uservoice.com/forums/121579-visual-studi... Would be nice for people to stop throwing it around like a hot potato and fix it for good. Although it sounds like an edge case, it's actually really common for some libraries to his this limit and be unusable on Windows.

> PR are not the place for jokes. There's a well-established tradition of pull requests and issues being used for commentary and humor. Here's a selection. The first one is by the founder CEO of a company with a ~$1B valuation that's prepping for an IPO and is very similar to the one everyone here is complaining about. The second one has comments from a couple well-known tech folks. And so on... https://github.com/saberma/shopqi/pull/409 https://github.com/h5bp/html5-boilerplate/pull/1074 https://github.com/ericf/yui3-gallery/pull/21 https://github.com/WhiteHouse/fortyfour/issues https://github.com/joyent/node/pull/2472 But apparently now that Microsoft is using GitHub, everything is Serious Business™? Is there a dress code now, too?

Depends on what you mean by "still developing for Node.js" which is subjective. Going strictly off activity, the graphs on github[1][2] show node trending ever downward from a high back in early 2012, and iojs significantly spiking upward within the last few months, approaching 2012 levels. (Obviously all but the extreme right edge of both graphs share the same data.) [1] https://github.com/joyent/node/graphs/contributors [2] https://github.com/iojs/io.js/graphs/contributors
