[feat] Make backend js ecosystem future better

Feature Request

Make backend js ecosystem future better.

What changed?

Program language like rust and zig, leads to new backend js/ts runtime like deno and bun.

What is the problem?

npm is awesome.

To use awesome npm package for backend, usually need Node.js core module.

But, currently, because three runtime not able to share same Node.js core module, when use deno or bun with npm packages, there are compatibility issues.

Because Node.js deno bun does not able to share same Node.js core module and spec and test, deno bun reinvent the not-fully-compact wheel individually, and not reinvent-once-use-forever.

What maybe the solution?

Node.js deno bun all support napi.

• deno napi since pull/13633, stable at v1.31

• bun is also implementing napi

Extra

I don't know if override core module is needed for solution.

If it does, I guess Node.js loader and deno importmap should works.

What is the feature request?

• Rewrite Node.js core module using napi

• Rewrite Node.js core module test using javascript, so Node.js deno bun browserify-XXX can share SAME test

• Publish napi version of Node.js core module to npm

• Maybe publish to npm under a new organization @backend-javascript-core-module-standard-committee/http
