A shell based on gnu readline?

Is there a shell for node which uses gnu readline internally?As you know node shell sucks in 2 ways (just important ones):It doesn't have search for history. This can be solved by using http://ift.tt/2pR3GWm's so poor. Shells that use gnu readline (like psql, ipython, python, bash, etc) has lots of features out of the box and all share a configuration you set in your ~/.inputrc. For example I have good vim-mode in all above shells I listed because they all use gnu readline internally. If there's a shell for js that uses gnu readline internally too, then it'll be in harmony with my other shells.
