i planning switch javascript scripting language our application, using vbscript microsoft vb script engine. scripting scope being used application automation via exposed apis , scripts execution can on-demand, time-based, conditional or event-based. enable javascript support application have shortlisted google v8 engine, has suggested use node.js instead of google v8. knows node.js backed google v8 , primary purpose of node.js create network applications. per above context 1 of above choices (google v8 or node.js) best choice. selection parameters are:
- implementation
- integration
- framework complexity
- performance
- maintenance
whoever told use node.js not understand use case.
if want embed script engine - can embed v8. node js whole platform brings v8 together library asynchronous io called libuv, , other tools , libraries dedicated making networking , server building easy.
it's not easy embed v8 , it's not fun. performance similar , maintenance lot harder node.
