I’m always a little suspicious of node & ruby stuff as it’s even more of a moving target than older stuff. At least tcl/tk is not changing it’s api every 6 months.

Also, if you’re going that direction and have any ideas on abstracting gui communication, let us know for libpd.

So node-webkit would essentially replace tcl/tk with HTML5 (or any subset of it), plus a javascript API for handling menubars, native file dialogs and other application-level details. Additionally it could leverage any HTML5 graphics framework, of which there are many. (Also, if a patch author wanted to write some insanely complex visualization, they could use any HTML5 framework and easily communicate with Pd.)
