Can txiki be compiled into a WASM module?

The project checks a lot of boxes in what I need, thank you for the library!

But I need txiki.js as a wasm module so I can run JS code against.

Is this possible?

Good to hear, thank you!

Not easily I don't think. The JS engine powering txiki.js can QuickJS, but this project adds a lot more stuff there in terms of platform support, such as sockets, etc. It even embeds a small WASM engine itself.

I don't think it would be easy (os possible!) to have all of that working inside WASM.

I would need a quickjs engine with up-to-date ES features + FileSystem acces + Encoder API bundled as a WASM module with WASI. Any advise if this can be easily achieved with your quickjs-ng fork?

Not sure. Everything you listed is "simple" except the FS access, because it would need to be written for WASI specifically.
