[AskJS] QuickJS executable vs. Node.js and Deno executable: Not not use QuickJS?

1. captureSystemAudio

   1 46 47 2.8 JavaScript

   Capture system audio ("What-U-Hear")

   

   You can't tell the difference between Node.js and QuickJS https://github.com/guest271314/captureSystemAudio/blob/master/native_messaging/capture_system_audio/capture_system_audio.js, nor Python https://github.com/guest271314/captureSystemAudio/blob/master/native_messaging/capture_system_audio/capture_system_audio.py, C++ https://github.com/guest271314/captureSystemAudio/blob/master/native_messaging/capture_system_audio/capture_system_audio.cpp, or C https://github.com/guest271314/captureSystemAudio/blob/master/native_messaging/capture_system_audio/capture_system_audio.c versions in the browser (client).

3. qjs-modules

   2 4 49 9.3 C

   Some modules for QuickJS (mmap, inspect)

   

   Re "packages" QuickJS provides a means to write C source code and import the module https://github.com/rsenn/qjs-modules.

4. tauri

   3 507 91,402 9.8 Rust

   Build smaller, faster, and more secure desktop and mobile applications with a web frontend.

   

   I don't use any of those, I use Tauri. My executable is only 560kb.

5. node

   4 1,193 110,578 10.0 JavaScript

   Node.js JavaScript runtime ✨🐢🚀✨

   

   Along that path I learned about QuickJS https://github.com/nodejs/node/discussions/42593 and Deno.

6. manual

   5 8 166 0.0 TypeScript

   Discontinued Deprecated - find these resources on docs.deno.com instead

   

   Both have issues. Deno is now 91.2MB! That is 9MB more than Node.js nightly executable. I read somewhere that Deno is ~25MB executable. That is not true https://github.com/denoland/manual/pull/350. I still don't think the maintainers of Deno understand why I file the PR. They should be including "the ~25 megabyte zipped executable" in documentation. I read that, as a minimalist, taking the executable to be ~25Mb. I don;t care what size the .zip file is. A potentially misleading claim.
