This group http://groups.google.com/group/serverjs (kicked off by this post: http://www.blueskyonmars.com/2009/01/29/what-server-side-jav... ) is working on a cross-interpreter standard library, a module system, etc. It just started last week, but people from many of the major server side (and some client side) JavaScript projects are already involved. If you're interested in helping out, take a look.

Also check out http://www.jsconf2009.com where JavaScript developers will be rallying to discuss how to use JavaScript to build cutting edge mobile, desktop, server, and web applications. If you have any interest in deep JS tech, you should be there.

If you're having problems building it on Darwin, try this one: http://github.com/isaacs/k7

Awesome. I've been wanting something like this for a while, but have been too busy with my projects to start it.

Same here!

I've been kicking around some ideas to put V8 to use, but the lack of file and curl access was a huge roadblock that I haven't had time to work past.

Thanks!!
