An article located [here]( https://blog.cloudflare.com/cloud-computing-without-containers/) describes how Cloudflare workers use an “isolate” pattern rather than containers to run user-defined code in order to allow a greater request rate and associated...

Consider parallel or full switch of CI to VSTS

1

VSTS now has Linux and macOS build agents in preview. Consider switching over to VSTS. And advantage will be that the Windows test harness can start auto-reporting code coverage again...

Improve module evaluation by not requiring shim scripts in order to access namespace objects.

2

Thanks to https://github.com/Microsoft/ChakraCore/pull/4707, it's now possible to programmatically get at namespace objects. This allows the functionality in https://github.com/BaristaLabs/BaristaCore/blob/master/src/BaristaLabs.BaristaCore.Common/BaristaContext.cs#L456 and https://github.com/BaristaLabs/BaristaCore/blob/master/src/BaristaLabs.BaristaCore.Common/BaristaModuleRecord.cs#L260 to no longer rely on a 'shim' script in order...

Will reduce unit test execution time and failures due to intermittent network issues https://github.com/WireMock-Net/WireMock.Net/wiki/Using-WireMock-in-UnitTests

This is a bit theoretical, but with [Blazor](https://github.com/aspnet/blazor), it should be possible to have BaristaCore compile C# code to WASM and then execute the result using the ChakraCore runtime. This...

Incorporate Span<T> and Memory<T> when marshaling large memory buffers

1

The intrinsic ChakraCore data types appear to support very large arrays > 2gb traditional .net limit, however, we've been limited to using byte[Int32.MaxValue] when marshaling them between ArrayBuffers, Strings and...

Unit tests of the extensions project are a bit flaky as they depend on uptime of httpbin, which is good, but sometimes can throttle or have invalid responses. Steps: -...

Add the following built-in types to make it easier when creating/providing these types to/from .net Objects - [ ] Date - [ ] Math - ... Functions: - [ ]...

Allow explicit conversion via IConvertible and also supply Converter<TJsValFrom, object>

1

Within the BaristaConversionStrategy, allow classes to specify an explicit conversion To/From JsValue objects by using the IConvertible interface. Also let custom Converter classes be specified.
