Microsoft Asks Node.js To Allow ChakraCore (Edge) Alongside Google's V8 Engine (softpedia.com)
campuscodi writes: Microsoft has submitted an official pull request to the Node.js project, through which it's asking the project's maintainers to enable support for ChakraCore, the JavaScript engine packed inside Microsoft's Edge browser, as an alternative to Node's built-in V8 engine, developed by Google. Earlier in December 2015, Microsoft open-sourced ChakraCore. Microsoft has also been one of the biggest companies to adopt Node.js early on, and is also part of the Node.js Foundation's Board o Directors. The main reason to add ChakraCore support in Node.js will help the IoT version of Windows 10 to run JS apps on IoT devices, just like Samsung is also thinking about.
If every single person works to find a source for the original claims, there will be a lot of different interpretations and no way to discuss it. Not really a good option.
Dude, this is the Internet. I could go MAKE some "sources" for that guy on my lunch break.
You're not going to like his sources anyway. They'll conflict with what you want to believe, so you'll go find your own sources and interpretations. Then there will be a big debate over who's blog post is more right.
You're better off just directly claiming the opposite while throwing in some populist quip. Then whoever put on the better spectacle will get lots of mod points from their believers. Quick and easy.
"V8 performs much better in my experience as a computer Doctor, as it should, being a truly open source JS engine. You can't trust Microsoft these days any more than in the past blah blah blah Linux blah emo bs"
