There's *very* little JavaScript code out there that is not tied to the
underlying platform; typically when people say JavaScript they mean code
that uses the DOM, XHR, etc.  node.js and gjs have independent
underlying platforms (custom and gobject-introspection respectively).

It makes no sense to serve gjs or node.js code to the web.
