<body>
<p>Node.js is a platform built on Chrome's JavaScript runtime
for easily building fast, scalable, network applications. It uses
an event-driven, non-blocking I/O model that makes it lightweight
and efficient, perfect for data-intensive real-time applications
that run across distributed devices.</p>
<p>The goal of this project is to make it easy to install the
modules available on the <a href="http://npmjs.org/">npm package
registry</a>.</p>
<p>Currently, the repository contains more than 100 new ports,
in particular:</p>
<ul>
<li>CoffeeScript (a programming language that transcompiles to
JavaScript)</li>
<li>node-gyp (allows building Node.js addons, often written in
C or C++)</li>
<li>Request (a simplified HTTP client)</li>
</ul>
<p>We have also written several helpers for the porting, available
in our experimental repository.
