I'm glad they opened this up, but I really hope "javascript first, every runtime should look like v8" doesn't become the standard here.

- madeofpalk 4y agoWhat part of the Cloudflare runtime looks v8 specific, rather than just (web) javascript specific?
- gfodor 4y agoI didn't mean to propose there should be a single standard. But for Javascript oriented FaaS, you really will have a hard time finding a better paradigm than the one they've settled on for Workers imo.
- cheriot 4y agoAgreed. Hopefully the WASM ecosystem continues developing and takes over.
- vlovich123 4y agoIt’s JavaScript first but the entire V8 dependency is abstracted behind an abstraction layer. Conceivably could be ported to other runtimes like Spidermonkey or JavaScriptCore with some work.
