How could we easily expose syscalls to `qjs`? Deno is just a Rust IPC/syscall layer glued to V8 really...
Some Node APIs could probably be implemented using the std and os modules[1], but others (e.g. networking) would probably need to be implemented via the C API[2]. [1]: https://bellard.org/quickjs/quickjs.html#Standard-library [2]: https://bellard.org/quickjs/quickjs.html#QuickJS-C-API
Will the source of this be published to github (or similar) for contributing?
Is it possible to contribute a patch? How should I do it?

From a cursory glance, it doesn't look like it's a bunch of files concatenated together.
It's C so it's harder to tell than other languages, since it doesn't have separate namespaces for everything. You can just write a bunch of functions and global variables in separate files and then act like they're all in the same file, and there's really no difference.

Can't speak to 1, but I kind of feel like TJ Holowaychuk in the Node.js community started getting close to Fabrice's level (until he left Node). Express, Stylus, Koa, Formidable, etc...
TJ has created a large number of popular software packages, but I don't consider the depth of the software to be close in complexity of the type of software that Fabrice is capable of - basically anything he puts his mind to. bellard.org - has the most impressive portfolio of software created from a single developer I've ever seen. It's more astonishing how varied each of his accomplishments are - covering some of th…

What's to like about it? First thing I wanted to do is look at the sources, which is now a multiple-step process - especially since I'm on windows and usually work on a Mac. Not to mention mobile.
Both can decompress tarballs. No idea if mobile ever crossed their mind.
Macos can decompress them natively without installation.

If it was released on github/gitlab/gitea/etc they wouldn't need to.
It's not a big deal but it does add an extra step.
Note that Bellard already wrote a (small) HTML/CSS engine for his Emacs clone. So we're only a small step away from Bellard-Browser.
Damn.

Donald Knuth is certainly in the same league.
But that's mostly by choice as he's predominantly a professor who spends most of his time teaching so he's obviously going to have created a lot less body of digital works than a full-time developer is going to have.
Undefined symbols for architecture i386
I don't have very much experience with C, but is there a good resource to learn how to better deal with compiler issues and such other than googling specific issues?
