Mancy

bring-your-own Node.js optional alternative to Electron-built-in-Node.js
Is it technically feasible to use an external Node.js executable with Mancy?
I ask because Electron comes with Node.js 4.1.1, and I'm using Node.js 5.1.0 with my own projects. It gets a bit confusing trying to remember which syntax is available in which Node.js version.
Is this something that you'd accept a PR for?
Clarification:
- Mancy continues to come with Electron-supplied-Node.js, whichever version that is
- but there's a new setting in Mancy that accepts the absolute path to any modern Node.js executable
@jokeyrhyme, I accept PR :smile:. We just need electron supplied v8 to run mancy. User commands can be executed in remote node.js. we may need to have a socket connection and pass around context and code to run. I am not sure what else break because of this change. we can experiment that.
For now, Use babel to avoid syntax avaliable problem.
@jokeyrhyme Electron 0.36
backs node 5.1.1
/ chrome 47. so we don't have to worry about newer version that electron team constantly upgrading.
