gauravseth··on The Future of Node Is in Microsoft’s Fork
Not sure what gave you the impression of not having a clear roadmap. All I said was we'll disclose the full roadmap at the same time when we open up the sources. Once we open the sources and the roadmap at GitHub, we'd love to get feedback from the community to clarify or improve things further.

We plan to do a blog post about this when we submit a PR to mainline, but you can see the session at Node Interactive where we discussed some of these - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zbc3SwMDWf0&index=14&list=PL....
gauravseth··on The Future of Node Is in Microsoft’s Fork
I am a PM on the Chakra team. It is encouraging to see all the excitement after we announced at Node Interactive that we’ll be submitting a PR to enable Node to work with Chakra and bring the power of Node to new platforms including Windows 10 IoT Core. As we mentioned at that time, our goal is not to compete/replace but rather help Node and it’s ecosystem grow. ChakraCore is going open source in January w/ plans to go cross-plat being one of key things on our roadmap (more details on roadmap to come when we make the sources public). We’re also working on a patch to submit to Node mainline once ChakraCore sources are made public, which will help us and hopefully the Node technical committee establish a neutral binding layer that could eventually be used by more than one JS engine implementations to work with Node. As one could imagine, there’s definitely a lot of work ahead. LMK if you have questions, feedback etc.
