Consider gyp.js?

See original GitHub issue

Hello everyone!

We’re working on https://github.com/indutny/gyp.js , which is a port of GYP to Node.js. I think the project is reaching the point when it could be actually used as an alternative “backend” for node-gyp.

What do you think about bundling it here under a flag to see how well it will work?

Thank you, Fedor.

@rvagg sorry, but I have feeling that we are not moving fast enough on this. Is there any way to expedite the review process? Should we invite more collaborators to this project?

It’s been quite a while again, any update on the state of things? Removing the dependency on Python is super valuable for people who are JavaScript developers, not Python developers. Especially for those of us who need (or like) to use Windows (which does not come with any version of Python, and so anyone who is told they need python will download whatever is the latest version of Python. And then node-gyp still doesn’t work. In 2017 =)
