No documentation for the API?

Maybe a noob question but can I run any nodejs code on just?

Hi. I will get some docs up over next week - has been on my list of things to do for some time.

No, just is not compatible with node.js. Having said that, it would not be too difficult to write a compatibility layer for some of the core node.js functionality.

However, going forward, I would imagine more divergence as node.js seems committed to implementing most if not all of the browser APIs and is very much a general purpose toolkit useful for both frontend and backend development and running on a wide range of platforms. I don’t see just core ever being much more than what it currently is - a small and simple codebase implementing a very thin layer on top of linux system api’s and c/c++ libraries. it could at some point be used as the basis for more complex platforms/runtimes like node.js.

My two cents, I am in favour of keeping this project as barebones as possible. If I want to use node, I can already use node. The parts of this project that interest me are not being node.
