let me talk to the team

we do not support node today but there are no serious barriers. some design work needed (for example we are resolving vars with eval on the backend; the frontend is compiled) and some code will need to be made more portable. i’m not sure if the work will need to be done by us, we would need to do a proper discovery. i would guess yes.

do you have a specific business use case in mind?

Ok, thanks for the reply. We'll be evaluating the adaption of photon over the next few months. Most applications currently target node for the backend, hence the question. We're just exploring options for now. We do consider moving (back) to the jvm, based on more factors than just photon. But making photon node compatible could also be considered if the amount and difficulty of the work seems doable.

Photon test suite now runs in node (in a local configuration). The design work still remains to make node work as a backend server in networked configuration (client/server compilation strategy for node will be different than JVM)

Cool! Thanks for the update 😉
