bjorn3 (Aug 02 2024 at 14:39):Do you mean compiling nodejs to wasm using StarlingMonkey as JS engine? I don't think that is realistic. Nodejs is based on V8, which has a significantly different API than SpiderMonkey and thus StarlingMonkey. There seems to have been an experiment to run nodejs on top of SpiderMonkey a while ago, but it hasn't been maintained for over 7 years: https://github.com/mozilla/spidernode
Joel Dice (Aug 02 2024 at 14:43):It might be reasonable to support some of the NodeJS APIs (e.g. node:fs/promises) in StarlingMonkey or an adjacent library.
Ramon Klass (Aug 02 2024 at 14:49):I think support for node_modules could be interesting, as in adding node_modules to the module path for StarlingMonkey, but in general it should be able to run at least most js libraries that target browsers
fitzgen (he/him) (Aug 02 2024 at 15:54):I was under the impression that the plan was to get StarlingMonkey compatible with WinterCG APIs, but @Guy Bedford and @Till Schneidereit would certainly know more than me
Guy Bedford (Aug 02 2024 at 16:37):Yes, StarlingMonkey is going in the direction of supporting full Node.js compat, it will still take some time, but that is very much a goal
