Enable Node.js to Run with Microsoft's ChakraCore Engine
It's important to remember that ChakraCore only currently builds on Windows, so this is only for Windows Node.js builds.<p>The ChakraCore roadmap [1] shows that they plan on porting the interpreter to Ubuntu, but not to Mac OS, and they don't plan on porting the JIT. So even it does go Windows + Linux, it will still be a low-performing toy on Linux.<p>This is vaguely interesting from a technical point of view, but doesn't seem like it'll majorly impact the future of Node.js, except maybe as something Microsoft can offer for Azure customers that choose Windows Server.<p>[1]: <a href="https://github.com/Microsoft/ChakraCore/wiki/Roadmap" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/Microsoft/ChakraCore/wiki/Roadmap</a>
