You are probably already aware of Node.JS, unless you've been living under a rock for the past year. It's a pretty ingenious project combining the extremely fast Google V8 JavaScript engine with a highly-optimized cross-platform asynchronous networking library (libuv). The next two paragraphs will be some rambling opinions on Node.JS coming from a Python and C hacker. Then we shall get down to writing tests.

I’ve been a contributor and user of the Big framework since last December. Big itself is about 10 lines long. Using the resource module, Big is able to create a system where libraries written with it, calledresources, all have hookable, composable, reflectable and standardized APIs. With resource’s persistence features, developers are able to persist data to arbitrary databases using jugglingdb and simple CRUD methods.

Who doesn’t love peanut butter and chocolate? By themselves, they are equally delicious but together, they are irresistible! The same can now be said about Node.JS and WebRTC. Node.JS is an asynchronous, server-side JavaScript engine powered by Chrome’s V8 JS engine.

gyp, short for "Generate Your Projects", is a build system written by Google that was specifically designed to build their Chromium web browser.gyp makes it easy to develop such a large project because the developers can create and test each piece individually by defining self-contained "targets". Then at Release-time, gyp makes it easy to stitch the "targets" together into a single statically linked executable. Ryan Dahl once called it "the module-system of C".

A little while back I bemoaned the state of server technology for secure websockets, as I was at the time putting in work on a Socket.io side project that needed to be HTTPS only. In due course that led a later post to outline a server setup that involved Stunnel and Varnish as the frontend proxies. It was a little Rube Goldberg, but worked nonetheless.
