Hi Jan, Thanks, one of my first attempts https://github.com/garrensmith/fortuna was embedding v8 as a nif. It was my first nif and the implementation is wrong, but it did prove it was possible and something we could consider going forward. The one thing I'm not 100% sure of is moving V8 across threads. Paul and I have had a discussion around that and we can't find good evidence on whether moving V8 across threads is a good or bad idea. I happened to speak to Ryan Dahl about it in the deno discord channel and he recommended against it. I think a good starting point would be to use https://github.com/rusterlium/rustler to create a nif and then use some of the code from fortuna.
Also, I'm not sure embedding Deno would work. The Deno isolate is designed to run in an async environment, so I think rather using standard v8 would be better.
