Wow! The integration with rayon for data parallelism is especially interesting, and I imagine that could be a killer feature for some people looking to accelerate compute-heavy node.js code without having to deal with the nastiness of parallelism in C++, or C++ at all.

I don't believe the blog post announcing Rayon ever made it to HN, so here's a convenient link: http://smallcultfollowing.com/babysteps/blog/2015/12/18/rayo...

I've been very excited to see this project develop. I think it really speaks to what we can do with Rust in the future: once we get some nice abstractions, "FFI" barely even feels like it.

Node is actually the worst case here: V8 being in C++ makes this harder than Ruby or Python, being implemented in C.

I wonder what makes it osx only? very cool project though, hope it takes off. I wish there was a way on github to watch a project at a level where you could just get notified of new releases.
