I'm speechless...

What's the point of writing code in an arch-independent language, when you
*still* end up with arch-dependency due to an unportable runtime?

I wonder if wouldn't be possible to ship all NodeJS modules required for
building Firefox with the source code and run the build process in Firefox's
own JS runtime.
