The JS engine in a web browser and node are two very different beasts.
The main problem with node is that it is very hard to get it to work in
a self contained way that does not involve downloading JS packages from
the network. I also anticipate some resistance in the Emacs community on
depending on the JS ecosystem where licensing is much more "liberal"
than within the GNU project.
