Research direction

Start by reviewing the linked Cloudflare Socket API documentation, the WinterCG proposal-sockets-api workstream, and the current implementation in Ethan-Arrowood/socket. Determine whether the Node.js project should adopt the implementation and publish it as @nodejs/socket; done means the repository ownership and publishing decision are documented and the next steps are agreed.

Description

👋 I've been working on a Node.js implementation of Cloudflare's Socket API (https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/runtime-apis/tcp-sockets/). Additionally, I've been working on the spec itself for that API; which is now a WinterCG workstream (https://github.com/wintercg/proposal-sockets-api).

I'd love to not have to own this myself, and would instead be happy to have it live in Node.js plus be published as @nodejs/socket.

What do folks think?

My implementation currently lives here: https://github.com/Ethan-Arrowood/socket and I'll be publishing it to @arrowood.dev/socket soon for early testing.
