At the moment, Zox depends on extremely large external libs and they are not the best in my view, but my current focus is to make Zox work and then I will optimize and do things my way, ex swc.

• Low-Level Bindings

• JavaScript minifier

  • Minify JavaScript identifier names
  • Compress JavaScript syntax (this is partially implemented)
  • Constant folding
  • Dead code elimination (this is partially implemented)
  • Read "sideEffects" from package.json

• Web APIs

• TypeScript

  • Transpiler
  • Type Checker

• Test Runner

• Module System

  • ES Modules
  • CommonJS

• File System

  • File Reader
    • To String
    • To JSON
    • To Buffer
  • File Writer
    • From String
    • From JSON
    • From Buffer
  • Shell Support (optional)
  • Blob Support

• Process

  • Arguments
  • Environment
  • Exit
  • PID
  • Platform
  • Stdin
  • Stdout
  • Stderr

• Network

  • HTTP Server
  • WebSocket Server

• Rust FFI

• Package Manager

• Web APIs

• Node.js Compatibility

  • Node-API support
  • child_process support
  • non-blocking "fs"
  • "net" module
  • "crypto" polyfill should use hardware-accelerated crypto for better performance
  • Finish "buffer" implementation
  • require implementation that natively supports ESM (rather than via transpiler). This would involve subclassing AbstractModuleRecord in - [ ] JSC. This would better support lazy-loading CommonJS modules.

• Zox is 2x faster than Bun in single-thread. I'm still working to make it multi-thread.

• The project isn't really a big deal, so I won't say much about it!
