Re: Node.JS Was: New lower cost IBM i announced

Nathan,

So when I do DSPSFWRSC and I see the following
Resource
ID Option Feature Description
5733OPS 1 5050 Node.JS v0.x
5733OPS 2 5050 Python 3.x
5733OPS 3 5050 Chroot with
5733OPS 4 5050 Python 2.x
5733OPS 5 5050 Node.JS v4.x
5733OPS 7 5050 Tools
5733OPS 8 5050 Eclipse Orion
5733OPS 9 5050 Cloud-Init for i
5733OPS 10 5050 Node.JS v6.x

Okay, you're looking at a list of licensed programs, which run in PASE.
That's an example of integration with IBM i. Right?


You're saying that Node.JS does not run on IBM i? Does this also mean

that Python doesn't run on IBM i?

The version of Python you see above runs in PASE. However my understanding
is that iSeries Python (the other Python) was compiled using an ILE
compiler, and runs on IBM i.

Sorry if my pushing this makes people feel uncomfortable. I believe the
distinctions between IBM i and PASE are worth mentioning, and that making
these distinctions will avoid a lot of misunderstandings in the long run.
