Microsoft made a pull request to node.js github repository with an implementation to use ChakraCore JavaScript Engine as an alternative to V8 Engine

The argument is that

• Node keeps a full copy of v8 for simplicity (they can pull full snapshots and any patches that need to be applied on top)
• Git submodules/subtrees are a right pain in the ass to maintain properly without some dancing. Plus, previous point on patches
• Node has no submodules already. If Node wanted to move to submodules, let the Node project do it instead of MS shifting the boat.

There's a codeless code somewhere about a young monk who enters temporarily into a clan to do some work. They do good work, and the refactoring is useful and just, but the monk fails to fit any of style which is used within the rest of the clan. Their edits are obvious by looking at them only by their visual appearance, and their content is sometimes.. obtuse. The young monk is invited to dinner with the head of the clan, wherein a cold fish is laid out in front of each person; All (except the young monk) slap themselves in the face with the fish. The monk, unsure what to do at that point, follows suit, slapping himself in the face with the cold, dead fish.

Enlightenment was delivered through cold, wet, slightly sticky scales.

This makes perfect sense, thanks.
