Also curious about how Node.js support would work?

I've heard about efforts to compile SpiderMonkey to WASM to run JS, but never V8 and the entirety of Node.js. That would be super exciting if that's what you're looking to accomplish. Would love to follow along and contribute if this is part of an open source effort!

Curious if you think cold starts could be a problem with this approach? Share-nothing architecture sounds great until you realize you have to load the entirety of V8 and Node.js on every request, but maybe you've figured out some way to work around that?

Also, how do you think the lack of JIT could affect real-world JS runtime performance? Or is there a solution for that too?
