(Though gn uses python for custom actions, and the V8 build process depends on some python code, so it'd still be rather unlikely we'd be able to remove the dep for addon developers.) 2. Strange non-JSON but very JSON-like syntax. confusing to JavaScript people. 3. Undocumented, poorly understood. (Contrast this with gn's built-in documentation run 'gn help'.) 4. Slow Problems that will be had: 5. gyp will be a major legacy project to depend on if Chrome moves to gn. 6. node will have to back port V8's build process to gyp if Chrome moves to gn. -- Job board: http://jobs.nodejs.org/ New group rules: https://gist.github.com/othiym23/9886289#file-moderation-policy-md Old group rules: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Mailing-List-Posting-Guidelines --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nodejs" group.
