A secure WebAssembly-based JS runtime

About

• A security-focused JavaScript runtime for Edge computing and AI workloads
• In --safe mode, runs isolated in a WebAssembly sandbox
• Fully Node.js compatible; existing code works as is
• Engines such as V8 / JavaScriptCore / QuickJS can be swapped
• Supports all package managers, including NPM·PNPM·Yarn·Bun
• Wraps existing workflows directly, as in edge node, edge npm
• Includes a CLI for local builds and tests; can be run directly with make build
• Roadmap goals by stage
  • 0.x: multi-platform stabilization and security verification
  • 1.x: reach Node·Bun·Deno-level performance
  • 2.x: TypeScript integration and improved developer experience
