Feature request (Browser release) #2471

Closed frog-o closed 8 months ago

frog-o commented 1 year ago

What is the problem this feature would solve?

Portability and easy of install One thing I can not understand is why people are not make a node,dónde,bunjs equivalent that you can run in a browser. I would like to see buns release a wasm build so that allow you to use typescript, bundler etc with not need a server. Typescript so far needs something running and installed. If buns where able to run in a browser it would solve all that. From everything I read , zig is supposed to be easily be able to compile to wasm ;so in theory this should work. I wanted to mention That I would like to see this for zig language also but I don't want a discord account or anything complicated like that IRC,mailinglist, etc.

What is the feature you are proposing to solve the problem?

Portability and easy of install(what easier then no install)

What alternatives have you considered?

Bable-standalone with packages from sky pack and unpkg

Node can run in the browser with webcontainers: https://webcontainers.io/ . I believe bun wants to support a wasm release eventually. I believe zig does too, their build process currently involves running a wasi build of the zig compiler, but they don't seem to distribute wasi binaries yet on their downloads page.

We do not plan to support running Bun in the browser anytime soon.
