I would like to introduce node.js as a dependency for the platform libraries, so that the platform scripts (bin/create, cordova/run, etc) are written in node.
Pros: - For multi-OS platforms (Android, BlackBerry), this reduces committer cognitive load as the scripts do not need to be authored in two different script languages (I.e. Shell for unix-y Oses, Wscript for Windows) - consistency in tool/script language. Cordova-js, coho, cli and plugman are all written on top of node.js. Cons: - Introducing a new dependency NB: This is separate from platform-spec; I would like to see platform-spec created/used regardless of the outcome of this thread.
