Just wondering if SpiderMoney has been given any review recently as a replacement to V8?

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Projects/SpiderMonkey
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2014/10/28/mozilla_claims_fastest_javascript_engine_beats_googles_v8_and/

Other than from a pure performance perspective my thinking is Mozilla's is a better fit with io.js than other corporate entities.

They're all good engines. SpiderMonkey is definitely in some aspects while v8 is faster in others. JSC is probably faster in some other aspects.

I doubt that iojs will switch away from v8 because of how tightly integrated it is until, and if, we break it into pieces ( #9 ) but that is off the table for now because it is a major rewrite and requires a lot of time that no one has currently.

It would be, at present, prohibitively time-consuming to switch Node over to a different JavaScript engine -- though it could be approached as a separate project. For more background, there's a bunch of discussion over here.
