There are many JS runtimes - Node, Deno, Bun, etc.

Just learned about a new one: Bare.

Bare is unique:

- Light (so can run on mobile)

- No server required (great for peer-to-peer apps)

- Not tied to a specific JS engine. (works with JavaScriptCore, V8, QuickJS).

- Separate modules (so you can upgrade individual modules when desired, and install only what you need)

One thing I don't like: The modules aren't under an org. Instead, they all merely start with "bare".

I'd have preferred using an org to "namespace" them like "@ bare/fs".
