At the time there wasn't any equivalent support for Windows and I wanted EWD.js to work across all platforms. If things have moved on in that regard I'll consider moving in that direction, since they appeared to offer improved performance.
Regarding Meteor, I was actually working on the design and architecture of EWD.js long before Meteor came on the scene. Yes it's got some similarities in concept - great minds I guess! Note that a key feature of EWD.js is that it's designed to interoperate seamlessly with the database technology used by VistA, exposing it as a very powerful and exceptionally performant JSON database, and making it straightforward to integrate new JavaScript code with the very old legacy code in VistA to the extent that you can treat that old stuff pretty much as a black box of APIs. On that side of things, I'm hoping that we can encourage the guys who understand that old code to create the packages of APIs through which VistA's huge range of functionality (in EHR terms) can be accessed and modernised (and extended) by JavaScript / Node.js developers. There's already a fair amount of stuff that's accessible, but we need to encourage much more to be made available and accessible Rob -- -- 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.
