Io.js 1.0.0 - Hackdot

Re:Io.js 1.0.0 by fergie on Wednesday January 14, 2015 @03:49AM (#8885044)

io.js is a program that makes JavaScript run on a server.

io.js is a fork of node.js but is "better" because:

1) io.js always uses the latest JavaScript engine.

2) io.js is not controlled by private interests.

Really? I thought V8 makes JavaScript run on a server.

no, V8 makes javascript run, iojs makes javascript run on server.

So it's useless without V8. I mean I can install Chrome or an Awesomium app onto server and it will also run JavaScript on server (via V8).

And why would you want to do that?

V8 is just a JS engine, it is used in io.js, node.js, chrome, and chromium.
