Making ES6 happen with ChakraCore and Node

on YouTube ↗32m

" summary

Claim that ChakraCore powers Node and breaks the V8 monoculture with a new, lightweight engine that already beats original Node performance in benchmarks and reduces TypeScript compile times. Notes a surprising statistic: 42% of Node.js users run Windows. Demonstrates multi-threaded internals and time-travel debugging, ships a VM and Linux port in progress, is open source on GitHub, and shows the approach works for server-side ES6 without transpiling or legacy browser constraints.
