Exactly, Node isn't the same as JavaScript.. node + npm is a very vibrant cross-platform ecosystem of utilities and libraries that Apple could have fit very will into.

Yes, it's based on a different JS engine than what they use... that really isn't the point... just like Python, Ruby and Java aren't Apple platform inventions.

I am simply disappointed that Apple chose to embrace NIH instead of a broadly supported, and growing system that would have been a great fit for this purpose.
