Some of these terms are already defined in the linked Chromium glossary.

Trott · 2019-05-01T14:56:30Z

Can you move this under doc/?

gengjiawen · 2019-05-01T14:59:31Z

Some of these terms are already defined in the linked Chromium glossary.

I do it deliberately because LGTM is too common.

gengjiawen · 2019-05-01T15:05:01Z

Can you move this under doc/?

My thought is that it's very basic doc, so I would like to be in the root directory.
I am okay either way.

gengjiawen · 2019-05-01T15:05:46Z

Do we need to add TSC to this ?

BridgeAR · 2019-05-03T12:13:29Z

Do we need to add TSC to this ?

If we add a glossary, I'd say it should contain references to all acronyms we use.

My thought is that it's very basic doc, so I would like to be in the root directory.

I am on the edge about this. I see the benefit of having in the root dir but we already have to many files in there (we might want to move some other files like the CPP style guide. That does not seem to belong into the root dir. The collaborator guide could likely also be moved since it's intention is mainly for collaborators and not for everyone).

I want to add primordials, but I have no idea what it means.

Those are pristine built-ins that are not effected by prototype pollution and tampering with built-ins.

Can you move this under doc/?

My intuition is that this should be in https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/master/COLLABORATOR_GUIDE.md (prbly at the end)

@refack @BridgeAR Can you review this, thanks.

jasnell · 2019-05-12T22:28:01Z

Not sure this needs to be in a separate document at the top level. This can be added as a section of the contributor guide.

BridgeAR

The documentation itself is LGTM. I leave the decision about the location to others.

Trott

Terms should be in alphabetical order, I would think?

gengjiawen · 2019-05-15T03:44:01Z

It's more clear when it in one file such as chrome did.
Also this file may grow a little longer.

gengjiawen · 2019-05-15T03:46:57Z

Is is possible to write a test for this new handler? I think you can just write some OOB in WAT, compile it to wasm, and load it in a child process and check SIGSEGV?

FROM #27246 (review)

So what's OOB and WAT ? Should we add those two. cc @joyeecheung

Now sorted. (Using vim sort)

I'd avoid adding that (and, probably, a glossary at all, to be honest, but I won't block if others think this is a good idea). These terms are not Node.js-specific. People can use search engines and/or we can link to a general glossary that has these sorts of things. We can't include every piece of information imaginable in our source code, and trying will make the important stuff harder to find. We need to curate our information. (Why not include handler? SIGSEGV? Wasm? Child process? Process? Web server? Test?)

Realistically, I suspect people aren't going to look in the glossary anyway. They're going to ask, "What is WAT?"

entries alphabetized

Trott · 2019-05-16T15:01:50Z

I guess I'd be more inclined to support this if we either just linked to Chrome's glossary (why duplicate the work?) or held the glossary to be strictly Node.js-specific terms or things very closely tied to Node.js. None of these except maybe primordials is specific to Node.js.

IMO, the ones mentioned in #27517 (comment) are going to be really useful for new comers, irrespective of their sole origin is our project or not, (and in some case how trivial those may look), but those are heavily used across the code and doc. Here are some more:

ABI, ASAP, ASM, ASYNC, BE, CI, CITGM, CJS, CLDR, CLI, CMD, CVE, ECMA, ENV, EOF, EOL, ESM, ETW, FD, FFDC, FIPS, FS, ICU, IPC, JIT, LTS, MDN, OOB, OOM, OSX, PPC, RAII, REPL, RFC, RSS, RTTI, SMP, TSC, WASI, WASM, WG, WHATWG
