nice, "run JS without (browser) runtime" is coming. perforr, jaws, or another project will eventually succeed.

  bun?
  • thrw42A8N 2y ago
    Bun is a runtime.. If you're referring to the fact it can produce a single binary, Node.js can do that too.
    • drogus 2y ago
      Yeah, bun will still include V8 in the generated binary
      • thrw42A8N 2y ago
        Bun will include the Bun runtime with JavaScriptCore, Node.js will include the Node.js runtime with V8.
        • drogus 2y ago
          Oh, thanks for the clarification, I somehow thought Bun is also V8!
          • thrw42A8N 2y ago
            That would be Deno. It can also produce a single binary using the same principle.
      • IggleSniggle 2y ago
        Bun uses JavaScriptCore as its runtime, not V8

  You mean like Node?
  • usrusr 2y ago
    I guess "yes" wouldn't be an incorrect answer, but a more nuanced look might want to consider that node does actually contain the js runtime of a browser, just minus all the rest of that browser. A wasm runtime can be far more lightweight than node, not only because node itself is a wasm runtime, plus a lot of other things. Wasm could (or does, already?) occupy a sweet spot where platform independent extensibility is desired, but where that is not enough of a core feature to make inclusion of a heavier runtime advisable. Kind of like how Lua has its place, but with more focus on near-native speed and less focus on ad-hoc programming (aka scripting).
