Description

In order to bootstrap itself, Node.js will need a standalone version of this repo. Considering that all fs access is done synchronously, it should be possible to compile this module with browserify and babel, and pack it into a single executable using duktape and libuv.

Tough task, but it is worth it!

Contributor guide

Research direction
Research how to bundle the module with browserify and babel, then create a standalone executable using duktape with libuv for synchronous fs access. Investigate existing duktape and libuv integration patterns.
