It's not possible to take the JS in node as-is and put it in a browser. Node consumes custom libuv C++ bindings that were designed for node, not browser dom APIs. This would be a new implementation of the node APIs on top of what the browser provides. > > What are the primitives which chrome is not possible to do? I have not much > experience in Node Core.

Go through the node API, it's not that big. http://nodejs.org/api/ And for each item, find a corresponding browser API that provides the same abilities. Some problems I can see right away are: fs.*. I'm not aware of any browser API that lets web pages read and write a user's hard-drive net.* While there are tcp clients coming to browsers, I have yet to see any standard that allows binding to a port and listening on it. child_process.* I'm pretty sure the browser doesn't allow a web page to create arbitrary processes and execute them ... If you're ok with requiring your users to use a specefic browser, why not just use node-webkit or appjs and provide the webkit runtime for them with all of node embedded already? > > > > > On Wed, Oct 31, 2012 at 9:02 PM, Tim Caswell <t...@creationix.com> wrote: >> >> On Wed, Oct 31, 2012 at 10:03 AM, Arunoda Susiripala >> <arunoda.susirip...@gmail.com> wrote: >> > Hi, >> > >> > I think with chrome we really don't need to much worry security model. >> > Since >> > chrome will take care of it. >> > What we actually need it set of wrappers for the core node APIs. >> > >> > Yes. we will not have to use npm projects with c/c++ add-ons, but still >> > we >> > can you alot, as mentioned in the video using browserify. >> >> >> Ok, so you're looking for a library that implements the node api in >> pure javascript.
