alt Hacker News>Extensions are built on the NodeJS platform, a free, open-source, cross-platform JavaScript runtime environment.
I applied for a job with them and proposed this exact thing about 8 years ago (got auto-rejected, I would've been very happy to work on it).
But I'm glad to see they finally did it.

You could already use Node through M4L. I'm not clear on what this adds that wasn't already possible.

I would imagine nearly every programmer who has ever used a DAW has thought “this would be cool to have its own scripting language.”
They already had Python. Mentioning an architecturally obvious idea in a job application is likely to read as insulting, because it presumes their engineers weren’t already aware of that possibility.
