@abhishek818
I will try first, if no pr from me by tomorrow.
it is up for grabs.

On the queue. As my main focus is Node, it'd be very fun to work on this 😄

@ologbonowiwi
i am dropping.

this might be helpful for console.log functionality in handlers.

@tusharmath, why not use a node-compatible runtime?

Having non-V8-based/backward compatibility can bring issues for users, as everyone is already used to V8 and knows how it works.

If we move forward in getting something non-V8 compatible, we need extensive examples/docs from the users. If I were using JS with tailcall and suddenly my stuff stopped working because of a different runtime, I'd think deeply about dropping from tailcall.

[webbdays]

as the doc says
http filter feature is for only simple req/resp modifications.
Any example for diff where it breaks?

[ologbonowiwi]

I don't have any examples @webbdays, nor I'm sure it'll break 😅

Only adding this concern to the discussion 🚀

@tusharmath, why not use a node-compatible runtime?

Node is an independent runtime, nothing is truly node compatible, not even deno or bunjs. Tailcall doesn't need to be a full-fledged JS runtime because JS is just used to write light weight logic to modify requests and responses.

Having non-V8-based/backward compatibility can bring issues for users, as everyone is already used to V8 and knows how it works.

V8 and QuickJS might not be all that different. Here is the feature comparison https://test262.fyi/#|v8,qjs

If we move forward in getting something non-V8 compatible, we need extensive examples/docs from the users. If I were using JS with tailcall and suddenly my stuff stopped working because of a different runtime, I'd think deeply about dropping from tailcall.

I don't think users even know if they are on v8 or not. QuickJS has a reasonable coverage of features, so I don't things will just stop working.
