Re: Bumping NodeJS from 18.19.0 to 20.0.0

[Ashvith Shetty]

Hey David,

Thank you for sharing your concern.

Interestingly, I've also been trying to play around with Hoot in hopes of learning about WASM!

Coming back to the topic, I've found out that this issue exists for 20.9.0 and below.

Therefore, I'll be deleting this test within the _expression_, and hopefully, there should be no more issues.

We could revert this for the post 20.9.0 version. I'll test this out by building locally once.

My initial attempt was to bump to 22.0.0, but since that would be a huge leap, and would potentially require bumping other dependencies, I'm trying a smaller jump to 20.0.0, without the need of having to create package variants. I will attach the patch below, but that hasn't been successful so far.

I'd like to get NodeJS 22 in Guix, as well, as it is the first release
that is compatible with Guile Hoot. I tried to update to 20 or 21
awhile ago and discovered that a lot of stuff probably needs to change
in the bootstrapping packages. So, I just resorted to a local package
that doesn't try to unbundle anything at all. I don't have any real
advice to offer but I wanted to wish you luck because this is an
important package to update!
