This is really cool. I saw that jjs was bundled with java 8, and saw this possibility.

I wonder if it is compatible with node js frameworks like express. I think that node has a lot of native code to implement various functions, so it would probably require a lot of work.

I remember reading about Project Avatar around the the time Java 8 was released. The intention was to support some of those native node modules.

I guess it hit some roadblocks.

Apparently, the http framework in PurleJS is quite similar to express. Have a look at it!
