Rohit, > Which of these modules are recommended for use? I haven't used Qt or GTK with Node, so I can't give any recommendations there... There may be some alternatives: it looks like there are bindings for wxWidgets, OpenVG and some OpenGL-related libraries (GLFW, GLEW and SDL). Though OpenG

..but doesn't that also imply adding ninja as dep? All npm projects using node-gyp might be affected (goes without saying, I guess). Possibly also want to rethink the 'configure' phase. I've followed GN from a distance and are willing to give it a whirl if its considered worth exploring. On Wed

As far as I can see `ninja` is still one of the build tools that could be used with the build system. I was just talking about a "transition stage", which will happen if we will decide to move to GN. On Wed, Jul 9, 2014 at 9:07 AM, Johan Bergström wrote: > ..but doesn't that also imply adding

One path to explore: Use edge https://github.com/tjanczuk/edge Run .NET and Node.js code in-process on Windows, MacOS, and Linux and script .NET WinForms or other types, to build desktop application. Ummm. I don't know how to attend a .NET event from JavaScript (ie click on button) Angel "Ja

GN, Generate Ninja, is a pretty cool project, actually. I actually always wondered: We have a scripting engine. Why do we rely on Python for GYP, if we have NodeJS? Is there no gyp replacement in node itself? Its something that I just never understood... Since the only people that build from so

This (no touch) is my current position as well -- but whatever choice/decision is made is going to have to stick around for a long while. Here's my thoughts so far: - I don't particularly care about using python or not and I don't think that discussion is beneficial to this thread. - node-gyp

Hi Simon, I looked into a different approach of putting JS on a FPGA by writing a JS interpreter in a high-level-language to VHDL toolchain. Sadly, the low clock speed of the FPGA makes interpreting JS painfully slow and it was impractical. Dealing with timed logic and I/O also proved to be o
