Project Details

Node.js, by definition, is an open-source, cross-platform JavaScript run-time environment that executes JavaScript code outside the browser. This means that now it is possible to execute a program written in JS outside a web browser such as Google Chrome, Safari, etc. This creates an extension to what the language can do, besides just creating interactive websites. With the help of the V8 JavaScript runtime engine, it can now take the code and convert it into a faster machine code, e. g., Node.js eliminates the waiting and continues to take care of the next task.

From my personal perspective, Node.js represents an advantage for the coders to write code, since it still has all the capabilities and functionalities JavaScript offers, but now in a more extended way. Also, thanks to all the time I have been contributing with this project, I have realized the huge amount of time and effort that the Node.js team has taken in order to make it as good as it is and also to improve it with every single upgrade.

You can take a look at their Crowdin project here.

Contribution Specifications

• Translation Overview

This is the 40th translation I made for the Node.js project, and on this contribution I kept working on the Changelog_IOJS.md folder, which I define as follows:

-- CHANGELOG_IOJS.md: this folder is meant to keep a record of notes related to the Node.js project, such as notable changes, known issues and commits, made throughout every upgrade of the project. The format of the strings on this folder is organized by paragraphs -which every single one defines a unique change made within a function or a file- that starts with the code number of the change, followed by the change, and ending with the name of the author between parenthesis.

On this contribution I found a very interesting term and learned a lot abut its importance and functionality: ARMv6. First, let's define what an ARM actually is. The ARM Architecture forms part of a family of reduced instruction set computing (RISC) architectures for computer processors, which is configured for different environments. The Arm Holdings company is the one that develops this architecture and licenses it to other companies, who decide the design of their own products that implement one of those architectures. It also designs cores, which are reusable units of logic, cells, or integrated circuits.

So far this definition sounds very complex, so here's a picture that may clarify what this all means.

This is a picture of a core that is utilized in plenty different products, such as smartphones, iPods, game consoles and navigations systems. There are many different cores that have been made since their first creation around the 1980s. However, the most popular ones to use currently are the ARMv6 and the ARMv7. Actually, their differences relies only in their components, but besides that, they are both very similar. You can find a list that defines their differences with more detail here

Now, to make it sound even more clear, an ARMv6 is an ARM architecture core that is used to incorporate memory, interfaces, radios, etc., into an specific product.
