There has been a lot of momentum around the Internet of Things (IoT), and especially Node since day one with projects such as node-serialport among others. This has allowed the communities such as NodeBots, NodeCopter, NodeBoats and yes, even NodeRockets to flourish. But Node's true calling is to be the IoT runtime of choice on EVERY platform. Unfortunately, due to some restrictions on the given operating systems, they all cannot run Node as is, with the V8 engine from Google.
Enter ChakraCore, the newly open sourced JavaScript engine from Microsoft that allows us as developers to put Node on devices Node has never been able to be deployed before, such as Windows 10 IoT Core, Windows on ARM and other architectures. This opens up a new world of innovation, allowing us to write the Node we love on all the devices we have, using all the libraries we're used to such as node-serialport, Johnny-Five, Cylon and more! Come check out how ChakraCore, Node, and IoT are a perfect match!
