#2This is incredibly cool, I have a request.
Please do not post comments on the GH issue unless you have something important to add. These issues gain a lot of attention and it makes it _incredibly_ hard for collaborators to communicate.
Locking the issue to collaborators means other people from the outside who have a significant contribution or want to help can't do that.
Comments like +1 -1 and such create a significant amount of noise.
Support open source, keep the discussion clean.

Letting ChakraCore run means effectively "wrapping Chakra to emulate V8's APIs". There was an experiment to do this for SpiderMonkey at one point but it's a lot of work to maintain.

#7I don't understand what the goal is here. Honest question, not a criticism. Can someone please explain. Is the intention to have node work on multiple Javascript engines like spidermonkey? I can see why Chakra developers could want this but as a developer using node I don't see how I would benefit.

#8With Microsoft starting to open source more projects, things like this really start to become a reality. Awesome pull request, and I look forward to playing around with this once the request has been merged. (If it does get merged)

#10Congratulations Microsoft and the Node.js team! Providing alternate JavaScript run times is critical to the success of a platform that requires predictable performance on a variety of environments. I'm so proud of everyone making this come true!
Great work everyone.
