JavaScript Runtimes (Deno, Bun) & Pyodide

Modern JavaScript runtimes and running Python in the browser for agent sandboxing

Overview

Modern web and agent architectures increasingly rely on secure, fast, and isolated environments to execute code (such as LLM-generated scripts).

Fast JavaScript Runtimes

Deno

Deno is a secure-by-default runtime for JavaScript and TypeScript built on V8 and Rust. It is excellent for running isolated, permission-gated agent tools.

Bun

Bun is an all-in-one, ultra-fast JavaScript runtime and toolkit (bundler, test runner, package manager) built from scratch using Zig and JavaScriptCore.

Pyodide (Python in WebAssembly)

Pyodide is a port of CPython to WebAssembly (Wasm). It allows you to run Python code securely inside the browser or Node.js.

  • Use Case for AI: Extremely useful for Code-Interpreter agents that need to safely execute Python scripts generated by LLMs entirely on the client side without risking server exploitation.

TODO: Add sandboxing examples for agent code execution.
