Hello there, i did this mainly to show that there exist some steps we can take today in order to mitigate some of the risks related to supply chain attacks that don't involve major rewrites. Another attempt i had done earlier was safe-node https://github.com/stagas/safe-node which does permission prompts for network and file access similarly to deno.
These are not meant to be full solutions but rather proofs-of-concept and a nudge to get the discussion going into the direction of making the ecosystem safe again. Let me know what you think or if these are entirely the wrong approach and perhaps what else could we do? Cheers.
