Moving this into discussions as this is a feature request to be discussed.

[kwonoj]

I think this maybe feasible once we have native esm support.

[kwonoj]

ah, forgot ffi part. So there's blocking upstream issue.

[lidessen]

Since SWC already use napi-rs to provide node support, I think this will help

So we need to wait for upstream updates 😂

[XiNiHa]

Should we actually use napi-rs for Deno FFI? Since the NodeJS interface is modularized, it sounds like it's also possible to build a separated Deno FFI crate, with tools like deno_bindgen for example (haven't used it tho)

[kwonoj]

maybe, but I guess that'll require different compilation path as well as maintaining 2 binding entrypaths as well.

Either way, I think it's ok to leave current feature request and see how upstream / ecosystem evolves. I do not expect we'll have this in a week or month.

Use @swc/wasm or @swc/wasm-web instead.
