Request to support Deno

[zakuru]

Hello,

Would is be possible to support DENO as JS environment ?

[zakuru]

I could do it actually if i can have some guidance

Hello, Zakuru!

Deno is a JS runtime, not an engine. JavaScript Engine Switcher library is focused specifically on engines.

At one time, at the request of some users, I made a JavaScriptEngineSwitcher.Node module. It is quite out of the main concept of my library and few people use it. In general, I see no reason to create and maintain a second such module within my library.

If you have a desire and ability to make a .NET wrapper for Deno, then make your own project similar to the Jering.Javascript.NodeJS.

Ok got will try to do it myself 👌 But just a questions when you say more focused on engine and les s on runtime its by choice and not tech reasons/ limitation right ?

Or you can add Deno support in Jering.Javascript.NodeJS

[zakuru]

yes @DaniilSokolyuk I was about to start from there But then there will still be some work to do in JavaScriptEngineSwitcher

JavaScript Engine Switcher library was created for engines, not for runtimes.

But then there will still be some work to do in JavaScriptEngineSwitcher

For what? What is this work?

[Taritsyn]

Capabilities of the JavaScript Engine Switcher's modules are limited by the ECMAScript specification. If your goal is to run a Node.js modules without any modifications, then the JavaScript Engine Switcher library will not suit you.
