I hope the goals are

- short-term : POSIX compliant

- long-term : runs *nix binary / programs

p/s: love anything CLI, so I may be biased

How would they run *nix binaries in a node.js environment if they call it "Cross-platform Linux without the suck"? You are talking about Cygwin here which is what these guys hate for some reason.

Cygwin can't run binaries compiled for non-Windows systems, can it?

well, I mean what's the point of the project if it's JUST to run linux commands? we already have Bellard's JS VM for that

OR

maybe I didn't see their long-term goal?
