Hi HN!

I'm Syrus, from Wasmer. We built Edge.js in a few weeks after different trials trying to bring Node.js to the Edge. We used AI and Codex heavily for this project, as otherwise the timeline would have spanned to a year plus to develop.

The summary of this announcement is that Edge.js:

  * Runs using WebAssembly when in `--safe` mode
  * It's fully compatible with Node.js (passing all their spec tests for non-VM modules)
  * It has a pluggable JS engine architecture: can work with V8, Javascript, SpiderMonkey, QuickJS, Hermes, etc.
Super happy to answer any questions you may have!
