> while you're still not 100% Node.js compatible

100% compatibility is a nice marketing win, but the long tail of compatibility may not make much difference to the average user.

What percentage of the total Node.js API surface area do you actually use in your day-to-day? How many weird edge-cases therein are you actually depending on?

Do you inspect 100% of the code of each library you use to make sure it does not rely on missing or incompatible functionality?

I mean, you are either auditing your supply chain or you are not. And if you are not, then minor node incompatibilities are the least of your worries.
