Agnostic Runtime

[thescientist13]

Type of Change

Feature

Summary

Would like to provide Greenwood with the ability to run on a broad spectrum of runtime environments, not just NodeJS. So for example, being able to run Greenwood in

• NodeJS
• Deno (although technically Deno now support npm)
• Bun
• CloudFlare Workers
• etc

This means more Web APIs like fetch, URL, etc and less fs, path, etc. So would like to make the core as agnostic as possible through and through, in preparation for Serverless / Edge cases as per #1008 and #948 .

Details

Things to look out for would be what "Adapter" strategies for anything that is Node specific. This includes

• fs - alternatives to readFile, existsSync, copy, etc. Use fs.promises.* so we can use URL directly
• path - get rid of all instances
• process.cwd() - ???
• Readable.from
• Workers
• os

Also, will want to pull along WCC for this adventure too.

Still need this, separate from adapting for hosting platforms and providers.
