I would like to pick up luvmonkey development again. The great thing about SpiderMonkey is that it runs on many more platforms and architectures than V8 (notably SPARC, POWER and PA-RISC, all still big in the enterprise.) Porting libuv to HP-UX and AIX would be something of an undertaking but it's certainly feasible. The prime issue is, of course, lack of time and/or funds. -- -- Job Board: http://jobs.nodejs.org/ Posting guidelines: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Mailing-List-Posting-Guidelines You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nodejs" group.
