Hosting a nodejs runtime / stealing Raycast plugins

[riotrah]

Hello, again I express my love for thee and thine work on this incredible project.

Yes, I understand the title implies an enormous undertaking.

For context: I recently switched to a new job where my employer provides us macs to work on. Of course I had to find my windows equivalents, and have come fall in love with Raycast, despite missing much of FluentSearch.

The main reason? Raycast base systems have some very interesting features, ( namely, the quicklinks, hotkeys for individual commands/searches and even applications ) but where it really tremendously shines is its community of scripts / extensions - in js.

To harness, somehow, that pool of extensions/scripts, even a subset thereof, would be a huge addition, commensurate with its difficulty of implementation, I'm sure.

At work we make use of small-clojure-interpretor for little bits and bobs of tooling where we'd want to interpret scripts or lines of clojure with low overhead. I have no clue off-hand if such a thing exists for Node (though I'd be surprised if not), nor if it would be as easy to host as sci.

Further, I'm sure more work would be needed to create some abstraction layer to handle Raycast extensions' use of the Raycast API etc, beyond the mere runtime issue.

Still, this discussion prompt is up here in case it prompts further ideas in this direction.

Again, love your work, dude!
