I would like to know as well. Maybe at some point they will be merged?
I donât really think so, I see Animation Nodes ported to Blender 2.8 as a temporary solution. Animation Nodes is still an add-on so developped in Python right (or Cython maybe) ? And Everything Node should by entirely in C, for better performance 
Donât know if this answer your questions. At least I hope Animation Nodes could be shipped with Blender 2.80 !

I could be wrong, but I was under the impression that heâs taking his Animation nodes, porting them to C, and then expanding them to modifiers, particles, and physics (interactive mode).

From what I understand, itâs so much more than just changing languages - right now his addon is based on what the python API allows him to access, however the goal is to integrate those systems within Blender, so that theyâre more than just a âlayer on topâ, so to speak. Of course, that lame attempt at a dissection is really just a prompt for him to come by and talk about it in expert terms.
Jacques is helping to get the Blender 2.8 Python API ready, and updating Animation Nodes is a great test for that and of course useful in general.
The everything nodes project to integrate similar functionality in Blender natively will happen later, this porting of the Animation Nodes is not strictly part of that.

Is there or would there be an article on what will do everything nodes?
Will it be juste like anymation nodes or will it be bigger to make something lie houdini, what is the goal for everything nodes?

The project is not defined in much detail at the moment. The way I expect this will work is that nodes will be added to one area (e.g. modifiers, particles, rigging, animation, âŚ), and then it gets gradually extended over time to more areas based on what users find most important.

Ok, so for the first implementation, we will just have basic support for nodes.
Thx for the answer 
Thatâs actually a nice and logic order. Start with the smallest, get progressively more complex. I guess, procedural non-destructive modeling with nodes would be one of the more final goals since it needs a lot of complexity.
I donât know why but for rigging and animation everything nodes itâs scary me a little bit
u canât judge something when itâs not there yet, also it will take awhile before we can see anything usableâŚrigging/animation are a very important to upgrade to the level of what studios are using today, u canât keep using a system from the 90s.
I think both workflow will still be available, because actual system is quite efficient as it is. But maybe once in while you may want to create some custom constraints , with nodes this can be quite handy and wonât require scripting.
And for animation of course, itâs the same, we canât have a node-only system to do regular animation, but something similar to animation nodes is awesome for procedural animation.

I wonder if this would allow users to make custom modifiers or even tools
I have kind of an idea, what that could be like for modifiers. What do mean by custom tools. I donât have a picture how that would look like.
Though it sounds interesting.
Anyone confused about how Everything Nodes could look, I would suggest looking at old examples of ICE from Softimage and Houdini tutorials for more recent examples.

could everything node be used also for modeling ?
it could be amazing it the guys from svershok could work hand in hand with jaque luke !!!
yes âeverything nodesâ includes interactive mode, physics, modeling and particles. Probably a lot more than that, but its a very long term project.

If they work together I think it will be like BLENDER JUSTICE LEAGUE of NODE SYSTEM

Animation Nodes being ported to 2.8 is a good thing. But I wonder if it will be part of Everything Nodes, ou it will be a complete separated thing.
Will there be a node in your addon to create super glossy wood floors in 2.8 eevee? Does the addon presently have such a node for cycles? Thanks
