Node.js as a run time library?

[wtfux]

Hey guys,

I want to write applications that actually don't need evented I/O (or not always) like regular GUI applications in Javascript, because, well I like Javascript.

My question is if it's a good idea to build upon Node.js. Technically I could also use v8 directly but then I can't make use of those awesome Node modules that are out there and all the stuff that's already built into Node.

It's like using Node as a runtime library. Good idea resp. the right way?

I know AppJS but I don't see how this is related.

I'm thinking more of a way like how you use languages like python. You have python installed and with the right libraries you can write GUI applications with it (GTK, wxWidgets and so on). Replace python with Node.js here. I've already started to work on a wxWidget module for Node.js but I'm not sure if Node is suited as a base.

As I remember talk of such bindings and mentions of progress have come up on the ML a few times. 

I would be surprised if google didn't turn up something. Personally I don't have much experience writing programs against GTK, wxWidgets etc. - So I can't give you meaningful feedback in that regard, I did write some Ruby apps against FOX ages ago, but frankly I preferred writing GUIs using web tech.

Take one oz of appjs and throw in the javascript/dom based gui library
of you choice.

Now shake (or maybe stir) and voila: A GUI application.

Build node as a library is easy, change the line "'type':
'executable'" in "node.gyp" to "'type': 'shared_library'", and then
use gyp to generate project files.
