Thanks for the suggestion, great idea! However, it's really early days for us still- as the blog post mentions, we are still working on implementing the JIT and concurrent GC which are quite important to awesome performance. When we complete that work, we'd definitely keep a close eye on current industry benchmarks



Heh, I didn't actually think an actual MS developer would respond to my comment.

As it stands, I can appreciate what MS is doing; you guys aren't probably going to compete with or replace V8 or SpiderMonkey on Linux overnight, hence why getting a working Node port is a good first step of presumably many.

Regardless, this is definitely an interesting step; it would be really trippy if I end up using an entire MS stack on my Linux desktop, but it appears that might be a legit possibility.


To clarify, this is why no graph has been published for Node.js on Linux and MacOS, or chakraCore on Linux and MacOS. But as a sibling post to the parent mentions, they have published performance statistics for Node.js on ChakraCore on Windows, where the JIT is implemented.
