Node.js, known as a popular server-side JavaScript implementation, could become more prominent in the mobile space.
The platform needs to expand its horizons in mobile, according to Node.js maintainer Burt Belder. "It's an identity question," Belder said when interviewed after his HTML5DevConf presentation on Node.js this week in San Francisco. "The question is more like, do you want to be a server-side-only thing, or do you want to do world domination?"
Although Google's Android platform interoperates with Node.js to some degree now, users are reporting bugs and saying it doesn't work, said Belder, who added that the Android implementation is not maintained as part of the core server-side Node.js. He remains undaunted, saying Node.js could even end up ported to Apple's iOS mobile OS. "Supporting all devices adds a lot of value to the platform," he noted.
