This is fantastic! Great idea and job so far! One of the biggest disadvantages with node is any type of complex manipulations / processing due to the single threaded, scheduler paradigm but combining node with native modules makes it much easier to pass off more complex pieces directly to C++.

Passing off to rust? Count me in! I'll be taking a look at this when linux is supported (would also love windows support but mac os x and linux are necessary for me).

I just saw :D

Damn people work fast. I hadn't even looked into what it would take to support Linux (and honestly my rust knowledge at the moment is so limited I probably wouldn't have figured it out in a reasonable time frame).
