Research direction

Start by reviewing the JSHTTP meeting discussion referenced in the issue and the Express and middleware packages mentioned there. Identify which non-Node JavaScript runtimes and higher-level packages are in scope. The issue does not name files, tests, entry points, or acceptance criteria, so those need to be established before implementation.

Description

discuss

With this, I formally introduce the idea of providing direct support for other javascript runtimes for several of our packages, such as Express and its middlewares. This was brought up in today's meeting for JSHTTP packages, but I think it could also be beneficial for higher-level packages.
