On the Note of Node.js, i was wondering if there will ever be a Node.js based on IonMonkey + Baseline Compiler instead of V8.

The engineer in my says, cool idea and judging by libuv [0] The joyent / node.js team seems to be open to abstractions, if help is offered.

Assuming the technical task isn't too expensive in terms of leaky abstractions or ripple, one has to ask the next question, if V8 works...why, would it be worth it?

but then they dropped it.
