A Community Group for Web-interoperable JavaScript runtimes

What's this blog post about?

Cloudflare, Vercel, Shopify, and individual core contributors to Node.js and Deno have established a new Community Group focused on the interoperable implementation of standardized web APIs in non-web browser, JavaScript-based development environments. The Web-interoperable Runtimes Community Group (WinterCG) aims to provide a venue for discussing and advocating for common requirements across all web environments. This initiative seeks to make code more portable by implementing the same standards across different environments such as Cloudflare Workers, Node.js, Deno, and web browsers. WinterCG has already started work on several important projects, including the Minimum Common Web API, Web Cryptography Streams, and a subset of fetch() for servers. The group is open to everyone, with all work being done in the open via GitHub.
