Re: Avoiding the hard build dependency on NodeJS

For better and for worse, I believe that's no longer true: devtools is now using it to transpile JSX files to JS files as part of the normal build. Dan Am Do., 8. Nov. 2018 um 13:55 Uhr schrieb Mike Hommey : > > On Wed, Nov 07, 2018 at 05:32:40AM -0800, Martin Husemann wrote: > > I understand the

Re: Avoiding the hard build dependency on NodeJS

I wonder if ChakraCore (the JS engine used inside Edge) has a JavaScript interpreter that would make it viable to run node-chakracore ( https://github.com/nodejs/node-chakracore) to run on sparc64. Have you tried that by any chance? (Of course even if that works, how compatible the node_modules u

Avoiding the hard build dependency on NodeJS

I understand the desire for developers do use the best tool for each job, and integrating NodeJS in the regular work flow during development might be a good idea. However, requiring NodeJS for each build (including the official releases) causes great problems: NodeJS itself is way less portable
