However it already provides the following \nfeatures:\n\n\t* A 'require' based module system as specified by CommonJS.\n\t\t(http://www.commonjs.org/).\n\t\t\n\t* Very easy expandability either by writing modules in JavaScript or\n\t\tin C++. Have a look at the shipped modules for examples.\n\t\t\n\t* A simple concurrency model based on OS-processes and message passing.\n\t\t(see the Examples)\n\t\t\n\t* CoffeeScript compiler included, so the scripts can also be written\n\t\tin CoffeeScript without any drawbacks.\n\t\t(http://coffeescript.org/)\n\n\t* A focus on shellscripting (in JavaScript or CoffeeScript).\n\n\nNote that:\n\n\t* Asteria's concurrency is not exactly light-weight with every \n\t\tspawned process running it's own instance of v8 (and thus\n\t\tconsuming around four Megabytes of RAM).\n\n\t* Implementation of the CommonJS Standard is far from complete.\n\t\n\t* The shipped set of libraries is small and the libraries\n\t\tare incomplete. But it is of course possible to use CommonJS\n\t\tcompliant third-party libraries.\n\n\t* There are certainly a lot of bugs around ;)\n\t\n\nINSTALLATION\n------------\n\nAt the moment Asteria does only run on i686 and x86_64 Linux Systems.\nIt has been tested on Arch and Debian boxes.\n\nDependencies (other than the included): \n\t* libboost_thread (\u003e= 1.42.0.1)\t\n\t* libreadline-dev (\u003e= 6.1-3)\n\nThe current build process is rather primitive:\n\n\t* make\n\t* (sudo) make install\n\t* make test (optional, runs some simple tests)\n\t\nThe binaries of Google v8 and Google protobuf are included. Libraries\nwill be installed in /usr/local/lib/asteria and executables in\n/usr/local/bin. Modules will be installed in /opt/asteria/modules.\n\nUNINSTALL\n---------\n\n\t* (sudo) make uninstall\n\n\nIDEAS FOR FUTURE RELEASES\n-------------------------\n\n\t* ARM support.\n\t* Foreign Function Interface.\n\t* Make concurrent.spawn network transparent.\n\t* Documentation.\n\t* http server.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fpb82%2Fasteria","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fpb82%2Fasteria","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fpb82%2Fasteria/lists"}
