It seems that Bare is also built on top of V8 and libuv, much like Node.js.

  Bare is built on top of https://github.com/holepunchto/libjs, which provides low-level bindings to V8 in an engine independent manner, and https://github.com/libuv/libuv, which provides an asynchronous I/O event loop. (from their README)

Moreover, you actually need Node.js and npm to install and run it. You need another JavaScript runtime as a prerequisite to install this JavaScript runtime…

  npm i -g bare (also from their README)

I don't get it – is it worth it to choose Bare over a more established and welly-maintained solution?
