Hi tim--

      I'll also mention that I have SqueakJS running as a headless Web 
Worker process, with the Deno JS runtime (the successor to NodeJS, also 
using V8). I'm writing an option for writing primitives in WebAssembly 
(or WA transpiled from Smalltalk compiled methods). Deno runs on all 
platforms.

      Could be interesting.
