it would be nice that developer documentation of gjs would be extended,
also with examples of how to write a module in a *modern* and *easy*
way...

for me, it's more easy (to try) to develop a nodejs / io.js (if you
don't like older versions of v8 engine) module than a gjs module. also,
a module should do less possible in order to try to translate js calls
or objects to underlying frameworks.
