Worth noting, this is from the creator of Node.js, Ryan Dahl (not me - just sharing). The project is in very early stages, but considering it's from Ryan... it's definitely a project to keep an eye on.
Not exactly sure why you would want to provide JavaScript scripting for Go. Go has different concurrency primitives and a different threading model, and that threading model is one of the biggest selling points of Go.
I highly doubt this would be "the next node", if that is the intention. If you want to use Go, just use Go.
You can use it as a scripting language for your app. For example, a go binary with customizable hooks scripted in JS. That way anyone who knows JS can customize the binary for their specific use case.
Is that the case? I thought it might have been, but then took a gander at the "Show" tab and noticed other people were clearly submitting stuff with the [Show HN] prefix when they weren't the original author.
Apologies if I screwed up. Definitely not trying to take credit for Ryan's work.
I'm pretty sure it is for showing your own work, but I wouldn't worry about it. The "Show" label is relatively minor, and this is certainly an interesting project to share!
There's a link to the rules/guidelines at the top of the "show" page:
Show HN's definitely have a prestige because we think it's the author's debut of the project, feel like we're helping out a community member, and expect them to be fielding answers in the comments.
Else everything is a Show HN. Like Show HN: Google's new privacy policy. ;)
