Subject: IBM announces new language environment - Node.js for i
Link to the announcement:
http://ibm.co/1EoKAcU
"Node.js is a platform built on Google Chrome JavaScript™ run time for server-side and networking applications. It is enabled on IBM i and shipped as part of the licensed program 5770-DG1. Besides the core functions of node.js, IBM i node.js also offers extensions to operate DB2 for i and gain access to native IBM i objects such as programs, commands, data queues, data areas, spool files, user spaces, jobs, system values, environment values, and more."
Node.js is especially known for its support for I/O streaming, whether that be the local file system, sockets, creating lightweight HTTP servers and HTTP clients, encryption, zip and unzip, and other string handling.
How many language environments does that make?
1. ILE (RPG, Cobol, C, CL, REXX).
2. SQL & SQL DDL.
3. Java.
4. PHP.
5. Python.
6. Power Ruby and Rails.
7. Node.js
