realistically, would you care at all if node.js dropped wasi support in core
I think Node can currently get away with not supporting it without feeling many downsides. Similar to how Node has been able to get away with not supporting WebSockets for a long time. 1/2

But WASI is going to succeed, even without Node's adoption. Too many groups have a stake in its success. I think it would be beneficial for Node to support WASI in core so it can implement and influence the spec. ES Modules showed how hard it can be to integrate after the fact.

i'm not disagreeing with any of your points but: 1. node gets most of its wasm from V8 2. node isn't a likely compile to wasm target 3. there already isn't anyone influencing the spec, and the team feels like a bit of an inner circle to be perfectly honest
