This is a very early step in our full support for Linux, but we are excited to share the progress. As part of enabling Linux support for ChakraCore, we are also sharing the first preview for Node-ChakraCore on Linux at our repo. Today, we are taking another major step in the Node-ChakraCore journey. Microsoft said this on Node-ChakraCore on Linux:Įarlier this year, shortly after open sourcing ChakraCore, we submitted a pull request to Node.js mainline to enable Node.js to work with ChakraCore. So, the company said it is working to improve backward compatibility. One example is the use of UTF16-LE encoding for strings, where other platforms might use UTF8-encoded strings. However, it also noted that the JavaScript Runtime (JSRT) APIs to host ChakraCore were originally designed for Windows, so they inevitably have some Windows dependencies. Microsoft stated the obvious: that bringing ChakraCore to OS X and Linux will allow developers to build cross-platform applications. Microsoft said development and testing on Linux happens primarily on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, but the support should easily translate to other modern Linux distributions. Microsoft showed off the first experimental implementation of ChakraCore runtime and interpreter on 圆4 Linux and OS X 10.9+ at the event, as well as an experimental implementation of Node.js with ChakraCore on an 圆4 Linux system, called Node-ChakraCore. Major corporate customers include Microsoft, Google, Yahoo, GoDaddy, Groupon, IBM and LinkedIn, just to name a few. Node.js, for the uninitiated, is an open-source, cross-platform runtime environment used in developing highly scalable server-side Web applications.

The announcement came at NodeSummit, a conference dedicated to all things Node.js, as well as a blog post on the Windows home page.
