Any plans to add support for? https://github.com/awslabs/llrt It would also be nice to have a V8/deno/bun based edge hosting option that supports the Next.js edge and middleware code splitting instead of using lambda@edge's node setup (which is slow and expensive). That's the missing piece for most homebrew next.js "edge" setups. Production CDNs like Clouflare and Supabase all offer this.

This is awesome, I'm incredibly happy to see more alternatives on the Javascript Runtime Space! In a nutshell: LLRT aims to have incredibly fast startup times compared to Node, Bun or Deno (which is critical in Lambda environments). LLRT is built using Rust, Tokio and QuickJS under the hood. Here's their compatibility with Node.js APIs [1] We (at Wasmer), have been working on a very similar approach: WinterJS, which is using SpiderMonkey instead (but also built on top of Rust and Tokio) [2]. HN announcement was just three months ago [3] Really excited to see how the ecosystem is evolving! [1] https://github.com/awslabs/llrt?tab=readme-ov-file#compatibi...
