define-function VS native-messaging-quickjs

Another library I found recently, which has a different take (simpler API) for using QuickJS compiled to WASM:

https://github.com/taowen/define-function

QuickJS https://github.com/guest271314/native-messaging-quickjs (after strip the executable is less than 1MB; the last time I checked node executable is well over 80MB) to run ImageMagick and pipe the result to local file system, remote end-point, or to the browser as a stream.

Dynamically set arbitrary Web pages as "externally_connectable" and forward messages from the Web page to Native Messaging host the forward messages from Native Messagin host back to arbitrary Web page https://github.com/guest271314/native-messaging-quickjs/tree/dynamic-externally-connectable

I can ship qjs in a browser extension with no undue constraint on storage, and run qjs from the browser from any Web site https://github.com/guest271314/native-messaging-quickjs/tree/dynamic-externally-connectable. That is a different story for node and deno, when we really analyze the built-ins we use, do not amount to all of the built-ins, however, there is no way that I am aware of to reduce the size of V8 engine; even d8 is what, 20MB, and not simple to extend to actually use stdin, stdout.

Working JavaScript (QuickJS) version: https://github.com/guest271314/native-messaging-quickjs/blob/main/nm_qjs.js

A QuickJS Native Messaging host that echoes input https://github.com/guest271314/native-messaaging-quickjs from client. Have fun.
