Thanks for reporting. Top-Level await is not yet supported. It's recently been added to QuickJS so will eventually be supported by LLRT.

Hi, @richarddavison ,
It seems that rquickjs, which was just released last week, links quickjs with top-level await support.
For your information, the latest version is v0.6.1 at this time.

Hi @nabetti1720 . Thanks for the info, I’m aware and already been working on a PR. This will also introduce ES2023 language support. The blocker I have now is synonymously wait for imports without blocking the async runtime. I have created a PR in rquickjs.
