Description
I've searched through the issues in this repository and the bcrypt repository: https://github.com/kelektiv/node.bcrypt.js, and it seems like no one is discussing this.
I think it could be useful to compile bcrypt to WebAssembly. Benefits:
- Combine bcrypt for Node.js and bcryptjs, one universal binary for all popular JS engines
- Remove requirement to compile for individual CPU architectures
- Near native performance
WebAssembly could simplify a lot of installation and distribution requirements, and still maintain good performance. I hope it will be considered.
