Use of node.js for developing desktop applications
I noticed that this article doesn't mention the use of node.js in desktop applications (using appjs, node-webkit, and other frameworks). Is this notable enough to be included in this article? Jarble (talk)
we can add the following. Worth the citation since we have apps made using Electron being frequent now Certified WikiDoge (talk) 11:18, 11 August 2017 (UTC)

"Its development and maintenance is sponsored by Joyent"
The citation for this points at http://www.sdtimes.com/content/article.aspx?ArticleID=35668&page=1, but the referenced page makes no absolutely no statements to that effect, at all.
http://nodejs.org/ does state "the node.js project is sponsored by Joyent", it would make a better citation.
However, uncritical acceptance of this as fact, without at least a statement of what "sponsor" means, makes this page more of an advert than a useful statement about who develops node.
Better would be the following page:
https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Project-Organization
Which shows that a number of companies are sponsoring Node.js development (by paying the core developers). That page is out-of-date, Ben Noordhuis was removed from the team by Joyent, and Isaac Schlueter is now an employee of Npm Inc.
Listing the 500+line Node AUTHORS file as the "Developers" doesn't reflect who the Core developers are as well as the Project's wiki page: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Project-Organization
Maintenance and rating of JavaScript articles
Concerning editing and maintaining JavaScript-related articles...
Collaboration...
If you are interested in collaborating on JavaScript articles or would like to see where you could help, stop by Wikipedia:WikiProject JavaScript and feel free to add your name to the participants list. Both editors and programmers are welcome.
Where to list JavaScript articles
We've found over 300 JavaScript-related articles so far. If you come across any others, please add them to that list.
User scripts
The WikiProject is also taking on the organization of the Wikipedia community's user script support pages. If you are interested in helping to organize information on the user scripts (or are curious about what we are up to), let us know!
If you have need for a user script that does not yet exist, or you have a cool idea for a user script or gadget, you can post it at Wikipedia:User scripts/Requests. And if you are a JavaScript programmer, that's a great place to find tasks if you are bored.
How to report JavaScript articles in need of attention
If you come across a JavaScript article desperately in need of editor attention, and it's beyond your ability to handle, you can add it to our list of JavaScript-related articles that need attention.
Rating JavaScript articles
At the top of the talk page of most every JavaScript-related article is a WikiProject JavaScript template where you can record the quality class and importance of the article. Doing so will help the community track the stage of completion and watch the highest priority articles more closely.

Who's Ryan Lewis?
How is it that he is not mentioned in the article body? Whaa? (talk) 20:26, 22 April 2017 (UTC)
runtime system??
This article does a poor job of explaining node.js to those unfamiliar with it. It suggests that node.js is a system programming language but that the event-loop and asysnch-io are part of the runtime system (ie the component that performs runtime type-checking, stack management, stack traces). This makes no sense. All languages I know provide an event-loop as an optional component. An event loop baked into the node.js runtime seems implausible because it prevents lots of general programming including REPLs. File I/O is implemented by calling out to an external runtime system (the kernel, or libc) or as a wrapper library to these externals. But that the default I/O is asynchronous... I think I'm going to need some examples. There's a discontinuity in the description of what node.js can do, and how it actually works. -- Preceding unsigned comment added by 100.1.10.152 (talk) 04:14, 23 July 2017 (UTC)
Stable release version
Isn't the stable release version 8.7 and not 8.4?
https://nodejs.org/download/release/latest-v8.x/ only contains version 8.7. --Mortense (talk) 16:19, 13 October 2017 (UTC)
