This package is as difficult as electron(use with nodejs).

@2096779623 no it does not require electron, ignore those package.json stuff, focus on the golang code only, that's all we need for the cli tool. Notably cmd/esbuild is what we need.

But its use on nodejs is temporarily impossible :p .
Let's try to build it with golang.

Yeah we can't do anything about nodejs usage since npm needs to manage that when you use it in your app, hence its up to the main package author to do that. They already support arm64 npm binaries but said he won't add arm. (See evanw/esbuild#2335)

Outside of node, the cli tool alone is more than enough, can be used independently from nodejs, to bundle/minify css/js and such.
