Project Details

Node.js is an open-source, cross-platform JavaScript run-time environment that executes JavaScript code outside of a browser.

Node.js came into existence when the original developers of JavaScript extended it from something you could only run in the browser to something you could run on your machine as a standalone application.

In simple words, it's an open source execution environment for developing web applications, which is event-based, it uses the V8 engine to provide an execution environment that compiles and executes JavaScript at a higher speed. It is possible to run Node.js without any restriction on Windows, Linux and Mac OS X.

It should be noted that it is NOT a server language, this means that it executes code, so it could be understood as an interpreter.

Contribution Specifications

Node.js is currently being translated into 33 languages. I'm contributing to translate it into the Spanish language.

So far, we have managed to translate 58% of the project!

Translation Overview

I have finished translating the folder Maintaining.V8.md.

As the name implies, it contains information on the maintenance of V8 and attempts to document the current processes to maintain the branches of V8 in Node.js, as well as to consider how the Node.js and V8 teams can help in Google.

What is V8?

Is an open-source JavaScript engine developed by The Chromium Project for Google Chrome and Chromium web browsers.

V8 compiles JavaScript directly to native machine code before executing it, instead of more traditional techniques such as interpreting bytecode or compiling the whole program to machine code and executing it from a filesystem. The compiled code is additionally optimized dynamically at runtime, based on heuristics of the code's execution profile. Optimization techniques used include inlining, elision of expensive runtime properties, and inline caching.

One of the most interesting aspects of V8 is that it has been designed with the idea of using it independently of the browser and integrating it in applications developed in C/C++. Precisely this feature is what has allowed the development of the Node.js project, which turns Javascript into a general purpose language.

Here are some examples of the work done.

In this case, it is related to important updates. It is worth mentioning that V8 is updated every time a new version of Chrome is released.

In this other example, an alternative suggestion is proposed due to the complexity of the process described in the previous example:
