No, we want to be compatible with the real world where that's where 99% of JS is used. > This sounds like you think there aren't JavaScript libraries that aren't > tied to an specific runtime, there are > > So, where do I put the code for a reusable, non web based, or runtime > dependent JavaScript library? like [1] or [2], these examples doesn't have > Node.js, GNOME Shell, nor GNOME JavaScript applications dependencies, pure > and simple JavaScript.

(You get a server-side implementation of the DOM with node's jsdom package which is very useful in certain situations.) That means the set of JavaScript that is only ever useful for sending to browsers is the empty set, so it's completely pointless to partition off a space for only that. > If everything else apply to them, I don't see why a Node.js application or a > GNOME Shell extension need to pull a package named web-assets, it is a wrong > name, plain and simple, and worse If they don't store anything on > /usr/share/javascript because they aren't browser code, why pull them? You only need "web-assets-filesystem" if you need /usr/share/javascript.
