Roadmap

We will focus on following areas in next couple of months:

• Installation
  • [done] Support pre-gyp on tested OS/Node versions for easier consumption
  • [done] Complete support for embed scenarios
• Co-operation between JavaScript threads
  • [done] Polish broadcast and execute for more fluent usage
  • [done] Make SharedArrayBuffer transportable across threads without introducing a new class of Buffer.
  • [done] Introduce lock class for synchronization between threads.
  • [ongoing] Polish transport
    • Make it easier to write transportable object for JavaScript class
    • Allow pluggable transport
  • High level abstraction for workflow across JavaScript threads (maybe a separate package)
• Node compatibility
  • Support more Node API that is directly or indirectly dependent by computation heavy tasks.
  • Strive for the same behavior for implemented Node API
  • Unify C++ addon file .napa and .node into a single .node.
• Performance improvement
  • Thorough support on pluggable memory allocator
  • Minimize GC impact on execution latency impact
• [active] Napa.js module development
  • Package like node-gyp to aid Napa.js module development
• Tooling
  • Debugging: Inspector
• Address community asks
