Musings on libnodejs (or libiojs) on Android

What can you do with nodejs on android?

Here are some examples:

• Run your own server in nodejs on your android device, using the same code you would use for a nodejs x86/x86_64 back end! (e.g. udp/tcp/ip, http, websocket, bit/webtorrent server, webrtc client/STUN/TURN/ICE server);
• Use existing libraries and code for nodejs and run them in your pocket; (which reminds me NPM (not-paid monkey) is on my TODO list)
• Connect to other android devices running nodejs;
• Run nodejs on wearables (ehhh... run a server on your watch?);
• Use the same javascript client code for testing/production on android;
• Connect to android sensors/instruments/services via unix domain sockets. (e.g. bluetooth);
• Connect nodejs with android.webkit.WebView and recreate cordoba/phonegap (wretch);
• Run cordova-cli on your android device directly;
• Create stunningly fast mockups with (local) back end code in nodejs

I feel that my hobby/job is coming to full circle, I started out coding in C/C++/javascript/java at the uni. Now I'm still coding in the same languages, but with one more in the mix, Xtend(lang).

I'll clean up my code and release a POC (piece of crap) on the android app store.
