Node.js core does its best to treat every platform equally. Even if most Node developers use OS X day to day, some use Windows, and most everyone deploys to Linux or Solaris. So it's important to keep your code portable between platforms, whether you're writing a library or an application.

Predictably, most cross-platform issues come from Windows. Things just work differently there! But if you're careful, and follow some simple best practices, your code can run just as well on Windows systems.

Paths and URLs

On Windows, paths are constructed with backslashes instead of forward slashes. So if you do your directory manipulation

My thoughts on MessagePack

Hi. My name is Sadayuki "Sada" Furuhashi. I am the author of the MessagePack serialization format as well as its implementation in C/C++/Ruby.

Recently, MessagePack made it to the front page of Hacker News with this blog entry by Olaf, the creator of the Facebook game ZeroPilot. In the comment thread, there were several criticisms for the blog post as well as MessagePack itself, and I thought this was a good opportunity for me to address the questions and share my thoughts.

My high-level response to the comments

To the best of my understanding, roughly speaking, the criticisms fell into the following two categories.

Here are a list of headless browsers that I know about:

[HtmlUnit][1] - Java. Custom browser engine. JavaScript support/DOM emulated. Open source.
[Ghost][2] - Python only. WebKit-based. Full JavaScript support. Open source.
[Twill][3] - Python/command line. Custom browser engine. No JavaScript. Open source.
[PhantomJS][4] - Command line/all platforms. WebKit-based. Full JavaScript support. Open source.
[Awesomium][5] - C++/.Net/all platforms. Chromium-based. Full JavaScript support. Commercial/free.
[SimpleBrowser][6] - .Net 4/C#. Custom browser engine. No JavaScript support. Open source.
[ZombieJS][7] - Node.js. Custom browser engine. JavaScript support/emulated DOM. Open source.
[EnvJS][8] - JavaScript via Java/Rhino. Custom browser engine. JavaScript support/emulated DOM. Open source.
