.node files are "addons". See the following:

For those using Node.js, the same is

    var len = Buffer.byteLength(a_string, 'utf8')


I enjoy TheSansMonoCd by LucasFonts. It costs money though.

Looks pretty good at 14pt in Terminal.app. Thanks.


WebGL is mentioned on that page. I'm not sure if it was updated since you looked.

"This can get sloppy."

Indeed it can. I am a fan of flow-js however. It has really helped me to avoid getting sloppy in Node.js.

The big question is if Heroku will suddenly support a fairly large number of long-lived connections to a Node.js hosted app, and how pricing would work. Developing real-time apps and custom servers are how Node.js really shines. A WebSockets module took only a few hours to develop for instance.


Thanks for the shout-out in the slides about the Redis client for Node.js.

I'm curious about the "fanout" name which immediately made me think of a message broker like RabbitMQ on the backend somewhere. I guess "fanout" here means 1 client to fanout.js to N >> 1 other clients.

There are a number of similar projects popping up like this one as of late for Node.js. NodeRed, fanout, dealer, etc.

That's great. Node.js makes previously "complex" things a little easier to setup and play with.
