> Babbage considered using number systems other than decimal including binary as well as number bases 3, 4, 5, 12, 16 and 100. He settled for decimal out of engineering efficiency - to reduce the number of moving parts - as well as for their everyday familiarity.

Resurrecting the "cars of the future" of the past[1], with an all electric powertrain, also sounds like a neat idea.

> I had no idea how far ahead of node on es6 features io.js was
That is because io.js upgraded to a current, and maintained, version of Google V8. This was one of the reasons for the fork.
io.js: V8 4.1.x
node.js: V8 3.28.x

> They are going to support JavaScript soon
Whoa. Slow down. They have only confirmed replacing their custom configuration language with JavaScript and hinted at an official JavaScript module [1], as opposed to the existing third-party module [2].
Bundling a Node.js-like JavaScript api layer with their official module would be a logical next step, because nginx is an event loop anyway. But, I highly doubt JavaScript will be anywhere near the Nginx core.
