Huge potential for system compromise. -

I've thought about deploying a Federati #Pump.io instance, but it runs atop #Node.js. I'd want to rent a completely separate server ( #VPS ) for it, so nothing else is affected if a poorly understood #JavaScript engine goes haywire. -

It seems the last successful connection was two weeks ago.
I know one of Secure ScuttleButt’s features is not needing Internet at all, but if you’re not connecting via LAN occasionally, you need a way for #peer-to-peer software to bootstrap a pool of connections into the network overlay over the Internet. I think pubs (and the new implementation that is just getting started) are a sign that a P2P project is not designed for real life usage.
I realize that many “Butts”, including the developers, are leftish anarchists, so when things work, they are able to discuss the dream world they hope to implement. But the majority of people are not breathing such rarified air, and #Secure_ScuttleButt needs to just work for regular people also.
Probably needs some concepts from Jami … and to be implementable without using Node.js … which I’ve seen people saying is not currently possible.
An aside: I do wonder whether it depends on peculiarities of #JavaScript or of #Node.JS itself. If the first is true, one may be able to implement SSB with #Deno or #JSI / #JSISH. -

Looked interesting until I saw that it requires #Node.JS.
I'm also still a little leery of letting WASM run in my browsers. Not that people can read obfuscated minified #JavaScript, but if you could obtain the pre-minified source, you might be able to tell what it was doing. With WASM, you're totally just letting unauditable and untrusted code run in your browser.
(I know this has a "Get off my lawn" flavor, but that's not what is happening here. Just wait until a GRU-sponsored malware gang starts inserting malicious WASM into popular sites around the Web.) -

I'd only use Node on its own VPS with nothing else running. For example, if I ran a Pump.io instance. -

#WebContainers -- run #Node.js in your browser

See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M3BM9TB-8yA
If you’re interested in !TclTk, then you may find #jsish interesting, because its internals are designed based on some of Tcl’s internals, and because it integrates the #Fossil #DVCS and can be updated using standard Fossil commands. -

I had just started an exploration push with “Deno”:{https://deno.land/} and “JSI/jsish”:{https://jsish.org/} ... but despite being interesting (as interesting as #JavaScript gets, IMO, but with seemingly less of the security nightmare that is Node.js and the NPM package repository), I think it is better to pause it along with the other learning projects.

They're merging in security patches for dependencies and replacing #node.js 13 with 14. -

Not finished yet, obviously. There are a lot of pieces. -

(There were _two_ such project in mind, but it looks like the source for the other vaporware project [in Python / Django] may have been deleted when #BitBucket dropped #Hg repositories. I was just going to take over where the original person left off, but if I’d need to rewrite it from scratch, it is no longer the same project and I may as well just implement it as part of the other project) -

Considering that the browser is the least secure part of modern computers, and the #JavaScript engine is a key part of that insecurity, it is up to each person to decide whether to accept the risk.
Personally, I’m willing to accept Node, but only in a completely separate VM or VPS from other server-side software. Which explains why I never have hosted a Pump.io instance. -

The language did a pivot ... it was originally a very functional oriented language written in #Ocaml.
#Ur / #Urweb — http://www.impredicative.com/ur/ — a functional oriented language that copies some features from Standard ML ( #SML ), #Haskell, and #Ocaml and has libraries for web-related features.
Looking at their sites, it looks like Opa has a more updated site and possibly a more updated language (though there was a release of Ur this year).
I’ve watched them on and off for several years. -

Probably because it wasn’t in anyone’s financial interest to stay apart long. -

I'm not looking with the idea of having a pile of #JabbaShit #JavaScript potentially listening on an external interface. -

(1) #Node.js projects:
I was planning to set up
(a) #Pump.io
(b) #Hastebin
(c) #Etherpad-Lite
I decided that for now, the hassle of dealing with multiple Node applications is not worthwhile.
Additionally, I still consider Node too poorly understood to be safe on a server shared with anything else. -
