I did work on the asmjs/wasm bindings for Yoga, Text-Buffer, and a few other projects, so I'm biased :)

Anyway, regardless of my own long term feelings, rest assured that postinstall scripts will be supported as well as they are now.

Isn't native interoperability the entire point of Node.js though?

Filesystem access etc. has to, at some point, cross the barrier from VM to native code. Sure Node.js has file-system access (and other stuff) built in, but willingly moving in a direction that's non-extensible seems odd.

I know you've since said you'll just pull native modules out of the cache, and I'm perfectly happy with that. However, please don't overlook the importance of native interoperability because the code you tend to write abstracts this away from you. Native interoperability is what makes Node.js.
